I watched all 3 hours of this video JB. So many happy memories of Diego Martin/Petit Valley. Still the most loved place, where I lived from birth. You did an awesome job again, thank you so much for sharing it. BTW, others also find your voice is very soothing 👍Blessings always to you and your family 🙏💕
Thank you kindly. 🙏 I'm glad you enjoyed the Diego Martin road trip. The Petit Valley one is here: th-cam.com/video/E9CzlKpiEoU/w-d-xo.html Additionally, I appreciate the blessings for my family and myself. The same to you and yours.
JB' why did I miss seeing this awesome video!! Must be because of the holidays. I watched the whole 3 hours and the memories of Diego Martin/Petit Valley are always happy.
I make many videos a day so TH-cam does not inform everyone. I suggest you go here: www.youtube.com/@JBsManCave/videos and see what you have missed. BUT, do not forget I also make many short videos too: www.youtube.com/@JBsManCave/shorts
So nice watching my County some places I remembered from 50 years ago as a child Sierra Leon villages is where I was born and grew up unlike what you hear in the news this video makes it look like it still is a niece place well done my brother
JB ah not lying. Yuh wuk fuh yuh money. I've never seen such a detailed video like this done on Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 before. I now bounce up on your contents. Well, yuh know ah subscribed immediately. I used to do security in Victoria Gardens. Right in tjat same booth. You know what i wish. I wish i could own a home their now. I love that area in 2:52. Good video well detailed. Thank you. I will donate. Awesome content. I appreciate it.
"Rain-o-rama" was built back in the day by late Aldwyn Roberts (Lord Kitchener ("the road march king" calypsonian)) after a song he made about road march being rained out. From what they tell me the soca singer Patrice Roberts is a descendant of his.
Hey JB! I love watching all your videos. It feels like I’m exploring unfamiliar territories of Trinidad with you. Unfortunately, I can’t make a donation, since I don’t have a credit/debit card, but I share your videos with my friends and family. I hope that helps. Keep up the long videos 🙂👏🏿❤️
Thanks for your feedback and do not worry about the Donation as that push is for those who can and not meant to make those who can't feel like they aren't contributing enough. I do appreciate your liking and letting others know about my videos... thanks so much! 🙏
Your description of the streets & communities, is very good. As an American I like a grey Modern , split level house. Keep up the great work, I appreciate you.
Petit Valley, Carenage and Diego Martin (proper) make up the Borough of Diego Martin. In terms of electoral districts it is subdivided into Diego Martin Central Diego Martin North/East, and Diego Martin West.

Back in 1989 as a US college kid, I visited a friend who lived on La Croix Avenue in Diego Martin. I fell in love with T&T but have yet to return. This video unlocked a lot of memories! Thanks! th-cam.com/video/BXPfumhtnAs/w-d-xo.html

I would watch the news... they are not exaggerating. My videos give a semblance of normalcy but there is nothing 'normal' about everyday living in Trinidad.
That’s the state of the world right now! I was just looking out the window of a high rise luxury hotel / apts. in downtown Philadelphia. And watching a handful of people walking through the park at night…And thinking to myself. Why do people put themselves in harms way. Because the city has become violent and very dangerous.
I love your video, but I did not see places like La Puerta Ave, and the boys industrial school etc. Just a question, but I love your video, am going to check out the rest of your videos. Keep up this wonderful hobby.
I got so excited when I discovered your video Lol 😂. My heart wanted to see my hometown. Some of the places look dilapidated and I’ll keep. But I don’t care how it looks, I love my home, and as best said by our Road March king, it’s in my DNA. You have made me sooo happy, you showed me my family house were my sister and my nephew still lives. I love my hometown my Country. I’m in la Puerta with you right now. I’m happy very happy. Thank you, I send this video to all my people from Diego Martin. I’m sure they will all love it.

Those "unusual condos/appts" is what you would see in Beirut Lebanon where ppl also build on steep hills narrow small roads etc. one of the residents looks middle eastern the guy with the beard looks like a typical Lebanese/Syrian Muslim person hence all those "Gyro places" now in POS.
I'm not anti Lebanese/Syrian I understand they've fled from a war zone and a terrible economy, BTW I like those type of flats/condos/appts I appreciate architecture as well.@@JBsManCave
@@JBsManCave ok, i will, what i notice is i saw you alot at one time popping up in my feed, so i assumed you stopped posting when i didnt see you and you popped up yesterday again
TH-cam sometimes does that. However, please start here: www.youtube.com/@JBsManCave and see with around 2400+ videos you will see that I never stop posting plus it is highly unlike you have seen all I offer. Thanks for returning though, it is appreciated. Remember me.
Trinidad and Diego Martin in particular is overpopulated. And the government does not enforce any kind of town and country planning they have on paper. So, people build where they can get squatted land and then the government comes behind them and build infrastructure which is then haphazard.

I stop the video when you Reach at my house. I love your videos
But then you miss seeing the rest of Diego Martin, Trinidad. 😉
Watching the news makes it seem as if Trini has gotten dangerous. But your videos makes it seem like it's still a nice place.
I would watch the news... they are not exaggerating. My videos give a semblance of normalcy but there is nothing 'normal' about everyday living in Trinidad.
@@JBsManCave damn, sorry to hear that.

Watch the whole video and you will probably know Diego Martin, Trinidad better than a lot of people from there!
Wasn't Massey original ly called Neil & Massey?
That is actually, "Neal & Massy" and in those days that was just about vehicles.
JB when you start on St Lucien Road you're actually in Petit Valley
I used to think so until I realized it is actually officially part of Diego Martin according to maps.
So you mentioned a Chinese person named Chang well I know him he lived next door to my grand mother
He was a rasta living on the side of the hill near the North Post trails. Is that the same person you are thinking about?
Yes his original home was next door to my granny his family lived there I know him he was good friends with my uncle
I grew up knowing him as a child
Those "unusual condos/appts" is what you would see in Beirut Lebanon where ppl also build on steep hills narrow small roads etc. one of the residents looks middle eastern the guy with the beard looks like a typical Lebanese/Syrian Muslim person hence all those "Gyro places" now in POS.
Hmm... While, I understand where you are coming from I believe you are stereotyping there a lot.

@@JBsManCave I don't see your videos pop up unless I look for you
Oh, you were looking for me when you saw the Diego one then? Did you press the notification bell on my Channel?
Yo you didn’t even go up Richplain Road…!!!
You didn't even watch the video properly. I actually mentioned you in my video.
Who was Diego Martin?
An European explorer from Spain.
The owner of an estate that is now the Diego Martin valley proper. Not the expansion that includes Carenage
Trinidad and Diego Martin in particular is overpopulated. And the government does not enforce any kind of town and country planning they have on paper. So, people build where they can get squatted land and then the government comes behind them and build infrastructure which is then haphazard.
