when I say "before the mall was built", I mean from the late 1800s/early 1900s.

ancient Burial Site for the caribs ?

if not then sugar cane

the area where the mall is now, was a huge pond back then for the estate

WOW that was a suprise

I asked my old uncles and they did not even know....good info fadil...

Loving this thread
