Photo of the Week

Check out this image of Monrovia’s Broad Street taken in 1977.

At the Monrovia City Corporation we are committed to keeping Monrovia clean and green, especially since we know it can look like it once did. Photo courtesy of ‘Liberia 77.’

If you have any pictures of pre-war Liberia please send them to itsarchel@gmail.com, the blog manager. We would love to display them on our site and collect them to share for our galleries. Send them with your name and the subject “Liberian Photos.” Please use discretion when sending the photos.

Hint: We don’t just want you and your family people.

    Madam Acting City Major,

    I want to personally thank you for the great job you are doing in the city. I hope all the other city majors can follow your examples. Do not be weary; continue to be strong to keep Monrovia clean and a better city that we all can be proud of. For those of us that are in the US, we know what it means. Don’t listen to the many critics that continue to paint you “black” for doing your job effectively. Liberians always like those that will go with the winds; when you try to be different and do your job the right way, they don’t appreciate it because many of them are not exposed or some just want Liberia to remain backward. My only disappointment is why are you still acting? We need to get rid of all this crazy politics that will not benefit the country and do what is necessary in the interest of our country. However, just be focus, keep the faith and do what is right for your country and God will continue to give you the vision. Be blessed.

    Madam Mayor,
    Thank you plenty, as I have already told you. It was a pleasure being in Monrovia and seeing you in action. Keep up the GREAT job you continue to do every day. I love the Mary Broh Day (first Saturday of each month). Please forgive me if I did not spell your last name right. That picture made tears come to my eyes. We will come back to that one day soon.

    Hi Mary Broh,

    Your project of the Waterfront Transformation in the City of Monrovia is a much needed project. Citizens, tourist, and visitors will once again enjoy our beautiful beaches. Thanks.

    In regards to waterfront projects, I hope that one day (vary soon) when you become Monrovia City Mayor, you would embark on the ever increasing presence and distruction of the powerful Atlantic Ocean moving inland and completely wiping out our streets and other areas in Liberia.

    Sincerely,

    Magdalene N. Weeks-Brantley

    Hello my fellow Liberians:

    I appreciate reading the MCC TV WordPress, and viewing the before and after development photos of the City of Monrovia. Mary Broh needs help from mayors in the surrounding areas. These Mayors need to follow the example of Mary Broh and keep their areas clean. (TEAM WORK). That’s what it is call. And it works all the time.

    Sincerely,

    Magdalene N. Weeks-Brantley
