This blog is no more than my random perceptions of Jamestown and those who live, work and play there, and every now and then, a bit of town “gossip”. It is intended to fill in the gap until we get our previous “JamestownEvents” site up and running again when will transfer most of it [...]
After several years of prevarication our Skate Park is at last up and running.
I first heard of the proposed skate park some time prior to may 2008 when local boys in my area were selling raffle tickets to raise money. At that time, all there was to show for the proposed facility [...]
We are very fortunate in Jamestown in that we do have a new Supermarket, which over all is a terrific improvement on it’s predecessor, and we also have some competition,… even though the competition is actually owned by the same parent company.
