Tourists took over Malory Square for sunset veiwing so it is impossible for us locals to enjoy the natural beauty of our own island sunsets. Go some where else to watch the sunset. We want Malory Square back.

99% tourists ....oh fun. I want to go where masses of tourists congregate and act like idiots and get drunk. If you are a college student, this place will appeal to you.
