My Kingston Edward Barbar Assistant to the Managing Director Phoenix Printery Ltd

What are your earliest memories of Kingston?

Going to work with my mum and dad downtown and being able to walk freely between my dad’s office on Orange Street and my mum’s store on

Beckford Street.

What do you miss when you are not in Kingston?

Going to see plays and just the pace of things.

What are your favourite home comforts?

I would have to say everything about my house; no place like home.

What would you do if you were mayor (of Kingston) for a day?

Do what I can to try to alleviate the congestion on the roads.

Share with us the title of the last book you read

Who Moved My Cheese?

What’s your middle name?

Gabriel.

And the last bit of music that stirred

your soul?

I love children, so the Shaggy and Friends’ Save A Life song really stirred me.

What was your last bit of retail therapy?

Shopping for a new wardrobe two weeks ago.

Which cologne are you currently splashing?

Aéropostale Sport.

What is your preferred beverage?

Nothing like water.

What has been your most memorable meal in Kingston?

A customised anniversary dinner at Guilt Trip; thanks Colin.

What upsets you?

Not much, life is too short.

What are your current projects?

Not really working on anything special now, just focusing on work.

What’s your advice to a first-time visitor to Kingston?

Enjoy it like a native.

What’s your philosophy?

Life is short; do what makes you happy.
