"...just a quick note about French Harbour police station. I have vivid memories of the condition of the police stations 2 years ago...they were in ill repair and uncared for. Several months ago, while I was out panhandling I was given a 5 burner gas stove that was gently used. (SolGas hooked it up from free) It sat for quite a while so I offered to remove it if it was in the way. NO...William Velesquez had an idea. The idea it seems was to build a kitchen area to house the stove.... |
