Trench Town Culture Yard

Restoring that building establishes TTCY as the de facto peoples heritage preservation organization for the island. There is no other group to do it that is not completely dysfunctional. It's Culture Yard or nothing.

Thoughts for temporary wall cover...

- to save on tarp expense and technical complexity, wrap small srtrips of tarp over the top of the walls (like an upside down U)
- to postpone technical challenge, cover any sensitive section at the floor level, and drain it off the missing wall side at the back
- then gradually install sectional "scaffolding" so as to do one little piece of roof replacement at a time. 
- this would be a "new" easier way to do repair in the absence of money. If I'm not mistaken, that is the methodology that started the Culture Yard restoration program

This looks like the way to fund peoples heritage preservation throughout the island (St. Ann's Bay first).
