Maybe there will be a new bar with 6 dollar dirty banana's soon.

I assume that some Canadian, or American must have development plans.
ESparks,

The "eviction" notices to evacuate these particular "capture land" areas in and around Negril have been reported in the local news media for about 3 years now. There were even follow up stories that second and third notices had been sent out. Everyone paying attention knew this was coming. That would make the 11 years more like 8, plus 3 years of notice to get off the land.

The 3:30am thing is weird, except that his was done at a time when there would be the least public visibility for both the evictors and the evictees. In this day with camera phones in every pocket, maybe this was the most tactful way to accomplish the eviction. Also, we dont know what time the eviction started, maybe there was some form of dialogue/negotiation phase that none of us are privy.
