From Greenspace to Concrete, Progress and Prosperity Yard Style
I always loved the Waterloo Roundabout and I started loving it more and more as the area around it became more and more developed. It was always lovely to come down or up Waterloo Road and see it because it represented a break from the congestion of the houses, townhouse and businesses. A nice open greenspace to remind me that Kingston and St. Andrew, is a green city. My only problem with the space inside the Waterloo Roundabout was that it was not turned into a lovely forested garden full of wild life. A nature reserve pleasing to the eye and general natural health. Growing up, the ground inside the Waterloo Roundabout was No-Mans-Land, since we were told that the site was an old Cholera burial ground and if we disturb the ground it would be hell on earth, so I feared it and I loved it. However, it was almost never overgrown, and the grass kept low. After breaking through the development and congestion of the Waterloo road corridors it was always a welcome sight for me. With
