Ras, I usually enjoy your video broadcast but I'm finding it difficult to push aside some bitter memories of Jacques Road. In 2002 a very good friend was kidnapped on Shortwood Road, taken to Jacques Road where she was raped, killed and thrown into a deep pit in the area. This lady was a college professor and one of the humblest and nicest persons I knew. Ironically, I/we spent many hours in study groups at a bredrin's house on Jacques Rd. We were then (including my sistren) students at XLCR preparing for our O- Levels. Ever since my sistren's murder, the name "Jacques Rd" sends a shiver down my spine.
