Party Time in Flowers Bay

Alongside dozens of house parties, Flowers Bay bars and clubs start partying on Friday afternoon and don't stop till Sunday church services. With a night club every hundred feet, the road strip is the party center with more speakers than West End. The dominant clubs are: the venerable Hip-Hop Club, reserved Flowers Bay Community Center, up and coming Flowers Bay Beach & Culture AKA Beach Bar, laid back Breeze Bar, the happening Players Club. The transformation came gradually as the Flowers Bay road was paved in 2006. Now locals are holding their breath that the road won't wash away with the winter rains and leave them stranded and with no reason to party. - from Bay Islands Voice

There are now negotations of ordinances on West Bay due to parties after midnight. Read TJ's article

Left Shoe or Right Shoe Washing Up on Shore

How come most of shoes washing up or Roatan shores are left shoes? Who ends up with all the right ones?
Could they come from one legged people? Are they meant only for one legged recipients? After closer analysis, 8 out of 10 pairs washing up on Roatan shores are left shoes. According to a PhD work of Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an American oceanographer, left shoes follow a different drift pattern then right shoes. When a container ship loses a cargo of Nike shoes, left pairs end up at different beaches, coasts and islands. Roatan, for that matter, seems to be on the path of left shoes. There has to be another island, possibly Cayman Islands, that the right shoes drift to. - courtesy of the Bay Islands Voice
