The City of Kingston, particularly the downtown area, is gradually coming alive again as various infrastructural developments continue to unfold.
One of the latest fixtures to be unveiled is the new aesthetically appealing boardwalk, which now greets visitors to Port Royal Street along the segment spanning the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade building to the Rae Town fishing beach.
