Name twin towers after Penny instead

Managerial misdirection, I would have to day.

The monosyllabic street names of Duke, Prince, Queen and King (former name, now Independence Square) make sense.

They tell us about the country’s history. So do the Indian-named streets in St James and the Frenchnamed streets in Woodbrook. Will these names all be gone in time if this insensible exercise of the corporation continues unabated and unopposed? The corporation has already violated history by renaming King George V Park the Nelson Mandela Park and it will be decades if this name sticks, if it ever does.

In any case, Mandela has done nothing for this country and I don’t think South Africa will name a street after any Trini, regardless.

Why did it do this? Doesn’t make sense to me.

I am rooting for Penny Commissiong as a national darling and I think renaming the twin towers (Eric Williams Financial Complex) to sit alongside the Brian Lara Promenade would be so much better. More significant than that messy, nasty Queen Street which disgraces her image.

The twin towers are a huge city monument befitting Commissiong and actually it is also used as a postal address.

That seems much more acceptable and respectable. They are a modern development in the country’s history.

Michael Anthony has it right. I agree with his arguments against changing the name of Queen Street. What kind of politicians do we have? If this is the best that can come from these people, may God really help our nation.
