The portion of the East Bank highway that accommodates the village of Grove ranks among the busiest stretches of the corridor. As a whole, Grove, historically, has always been a residential stretch, accommodating, over the years, a mix of family homes and an assortment of services associated with the needs of the community. These days, be told, Grove has still retained some of its homestead characteristics, never mind the fact that successive makeovers have transformed the community considerably. The homes of decades ago, at least some of them, have been transformed beyond recognition, some of them having undergone transformations that have to do with replacing modest houses with places of business. Grove, today, is experiencing changes that are not uncommon in other communities across coastal Guyana.
