A very stink situation at Bourda Green
Dear Editor;
I have been living at the above address for over 50 years, I migrated to the United States about ten years ago and I come home periodically to spent times with my family and friend as I missed our culture and the socializing that Guyanese are accustomed to.
On Saturday July 2, 2016 I was shopping at Bourda Green which I love to do whenever I come home. I am a Guyanese to the bone so where ever I am, I am a Guyanese and Guyana is home. As I was about to egress Bourda Green through the route closest to Robb Street I was almost knocked down by a stink scent that was coming from the direction that I was approaching, it was not from the compactor, low and behold is was right in front of me. This smell was coming from inside and outside of a stall that is plucking chicken, I hope not for human consumption. Through the thoroughfare of that ingress and egress of the market, there were some chicken crates about thirty of them. Some were filled with live chicken and some were empty. They all have one thing in common, they all have chicken droppings on them and even on the thoroughfare were chicken droppings.
When I finally reached on Orange Walk, Bourda that is opposite Deen’s Pharmacy I found the most undesirable thing attached on my clothing; my shoe and my skirt hem were drench in chicken dropping mixed with water that was on the surface on the concrete. The upper part of my skirt was touched from dropping on the chicken crates. I was mad, really mad. I turn and look to the direction I just came from, I became enraged with indignation. A family of three were going to the market, the boy was navigating through” whatever. I hope when I return there would not be a second experience.
