Early Columbia, back when we were boys. Part I Part I - Around the Square, counter clockwise, starting at the Corner of Campbellsville Street and the Public Square, the era would be the early 1950s and a couple of years, maybe, into the 1960s.

Carol Perkins: Cruise, Part III, Stop in Freeport, Bahamas Freeport version of a 'taxi' is different from those in the United States, made very profitable by packing small buses with passengers paying $20 each for a twenty minute ride into town. Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: Cruise, Part II, Key West. Posted July 20, 2014 By Carol Perkins Our second stop on our cruise was in Freeport, Bahamas. From the dock, the drive into town is about twenty minutes. A taxi is the preferred mode of transportation, but the taxis there and taxis here are not the same. This was a small bus holding ten passengers by cramming people in closely, which is what the drivers do. Twenty dollars per person for a 'round trip soon becomes very profitable. That is why the drivers do not leave the port without every seat filled. Our driver was an older woman who spoke very little English and had very little patience with tourist.
