MK’s Daily Picture – Retro Chic

Photo: Martei Korley Subject: Oceana Towers Location: Kingstonโ€™s waterfront

I have always loved the look of Oceana Towers. It sits surrounded by the in daytime hours bustling, and by night extra quiet downtown.
About as close to the Bank of Jamaica as Tivoli Gardens and Orange street with all of itโ€™s studios.. The Towers are kinda reminiscent of a pseudo-Miami circa 1975, which never was, with their strict geometric design and pastel palette..
