How about a government program, with sufficient advertising (from existing fees), to promote small, family-run, community-enhancing properties (licensed Guest Houses, B&Bs, Villas)?...to help fill ready, vacant, under-utilized rooms. Promises ...Promises...

• Everyone's a millionaire where promises are concerned. (Ovid)

• One promises much, to avoid giving little. (Marquis De Vauvenargues )

• Two things are very expensive in national life: promises when they succeed and threats when they fail. (Thomas Schelling--arms-control scholar)

A promise is a comfort to a fool.

Darn, just when I was feeling good about new blood in the politrickal system in Ja.... Can anyone remind me where Red Bank is located, and is Mr Parchment mentioned in the article related to the Parchments of Southfield?

There's to Red Banks in St.Elizabeth.One is between Flagaman and South field...The other is between Rose Hall and Morning side..That's up Junction on the main road to mandeville, turn at Witter and son's funeral home.Hope this helps!

I wish the Jamaican government while collecting taxes from guest houses, B & B's, and resorts included all in a directory so when you journey to a new town, you'd know where there is lodging. The big resorts and villas have plenty of information but it's almost impossible to find information for small towns besides TB.

Thank you for the response REDS.
