      Those roads have been bad from day one.
      It was all rock stone when my father build, lots of blasting.
      With all the building of homes and the heavy equipment vehicles, cement trucks, dump trucks hauling those heavy stone.
      They stop fixing the roads, it was getting too expensive, the rain also damaged the roads🥲

We're glad to reconnect you with a place you once called home, even if it's through a screen. Hopefully, our journey through Smokey Vale stirred some fond memories alongside the challenging ones.

    Gooood Sunday Morning to "My New Favourite Couple"
    From: Ontario Canada.
    Just saw a Video of You Guys going through Smokey Vale, about seven months ago.
    It's unfortunate that You were not accompanied by someone who know the History of those neighbourhoods.
    A ::The now Smokey Vale: was what was the original Belview Plantation.
    A very large Pimento Plantation. I am not sure of the name of the Original Owners/Planters.
    In 1920 The Walenta family from Adelphi in St.James, bought Belview.
    One of my Grandmothers (my mother's mother) as an House girl/Nanny migrated from St.James to St.Andrew, with that family.
    The nearest shopping area was Mannings Hill (north of the plantation). It was at Mannings Hill that my Grandmother met my mother's father, who was a Young Leathercraft Instructor at the Stony Hill Industral School. (Horse and Buggy was the premier mode of transportation, then).
    *By the way Lady Madge:
    One of my mother's sister was Elismae (I called her Aunt Mazie).
    The Walentas left the property to the Catholic Church. The Church operated the St. Michael's Semenary from the Belview Great House for about twenty years, until they sold the property for Housing developement sometimes in the 1980s.
    A little further west would be The Mount Salus Great House (Owned by The Sharpes: who were the largest Citrus farmers in Jamaica).
    A part of their property is now intigrated into the Community of Smokey Vale/Belglade Heights.
    Take Care Now!
    Searching for more of Your Videos. Just found one done in Long Bay, Portland and another in St.Thomas.

      Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating piece of history with us! We're always eager to learn more about the places we visit in Jamaica, and your insights into Smokey Vale and its origins as Belview Plantation are truly captivating. It's incredible to think about the layers of history and personal stories tied to the land we explore. We wish we had known this when we visited-having someone to guide us through the rich history would have made our journey even more meaningful.
      Hearing about your grandmother's connection to the area and the transformation of the plantation over the years adds a personal touch that we deeply appreciate. It's these kinds of stories that make exploring Jamaica so special for us.
      We're sending our best wishes back to you in Ontario, Canada, from our sunny corner of Jamaica. Your support and interest in our adventures mean so much to us. We can't wait to share more videos with you, each one a new opportunity to uncover the beauty and history of our island.
      Thank you again for being part of our journey and for making our exploration of Jamaica even richer with your contribution. Take care, and stay tuned for more adventures!

    You two crack me up lol. 😅I just discovered your channel yesterday or the day before. I’ve been binge watching ever since. I was wondering why so many of those houses do not have burglar bars. Because I have a friend who lives in Mona Heights outside Kingston, and she has burglar bars and along with all her neighbors. And she made it sound like, it’s a requirement to prevent being targeted by people who would break into your home. But Tom, you mentioned that they have the high fences and security dogs as a deterrent. So I guess it works because all of the neighbors in your video tours don’t have burglar bars. So for them, it must not be necessary. I guess the high fences and the dogs are sufficient.

    • @RedButtonJournal
      @RedButtonJournal  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey there! We're thrilled you've been enjoying our channel and that we've managed to keep you entertained with our adventures. It's great to hear you've been binge-watching our content!
      Regarding your observation about the burglar bars, it's an interesting point. Security measures can indeed vary widely from one neighborhood to another in Jamaica, much like in many other places. In areas like Mona Heights outside Kingston, burglar bars are quite common and seen as an essential layer of home security. However, as you noted from our video tours, some communities opt for different security strategies like high fences and security dogs, which can be equally effective deterrents.
      The choice of security measures often depends on the homeowners' preferences, the perceived level of safety in the area, and sometimes, the aesthetic appeal of the homes. It seems that in the neighborhoods we visited, residents feel that high fences and dogs are sufficient to ensure their safety, and thus, they might not see the need for burglar bars.
      It's all about finding the right balance between feeling safe and comfortable in one's home. We appreciate you bringing up this point, and we're glad to offer a glimpse into the diverse ways people live and protect their homes here in Jamaica. Keep watching, and we'll keep sharing more from our beautiful island!
