Popeyes Makes Its Way to Portmore, Jamaica ----- Why?!



There are countless American fast food restaurants in Portmore which includes at least three KFCs in close proximity, Burger Kings, etc., etc., etc. The community doesn't need anymore greasy, fried food American restaurants that are known for producing food with high calories thereby increasing health risks. What some of these rich franchise holders need to do is to work with government entities in an effort to build a well-needed hospital for such a large community that has gone without an emergency medical care facility for over 45 years. It's all about making money for Richard Lake and Lois Lake Sherwood. However, it is time for them and other fast food franchise holders to start considering people's health needs.

Portmore Needs Hospital Not Cemetary



Portmore's acting Mayor, Errol Crosby, has made his case for a cemetery to be constructed in the city. Certainly, a city with an estimated population of 300,000 will eventually need a cemetery. However, the acting mayor should place his priorities on the living citizens who are in dire need of a full functioning hospital especially during late night emergencies when doctors' offices are closed. It is inexcusable and a shame that such a major city has no hospital but unhealthy fast-food franchises may be seen at every turn on Portmore streets. In the long run, it is important to provide necessary services to people while they are living – not after they are dead.
