When last have you walked through Sangre Grande? If you have grown up here, once lived here and so forth... please tell us here in the comments what you think about Sangre Grande today!
I spent lots of good times in Grande in the 70's,my sister was married to one of The Chow's who owned the bakery,may he RIP,he was also a school mate of mine at boarding school..It has changed a lot..i remember almost every corner had a rum shop/snackette..The gambling and pool places that were opened almost 24/7..Dog my partner picking up whe whe mark,Miss Elsie selling corn in front Marlay building,the police sitting in the back of Frank rum shop drinking rum all day...Happy Times..
Sangre Grande my home town, living in the USA 43 yrs now, lots of changes tho! I truly enjoy your videos, for sure you brings lots off memories to the ole timers,keep up the good work,God bless 🙌
Nostalgia or what!!! Really enjoyed and appreciated this video. It was like walking through time. I was born in Mary Street, Grande in 1961, left for the London in 64. I did go back for a year in 84, and Limed in Grande everyday. The video brought back so many good memories and showed a comparison of yesterday years to today. I shared this with my 82 year old who was born in Foster Road. We followed you through your walk and helped my Mum so much with her stimulating her memory bank. She loved the vid Big Time. Thank you much for sharing. Neil Dial
56:06 Cunapo St Francis RC school i attended when i was a child. Born in Trinidad but left when i was 9 years. I grew up in Sangre Grande and visited many times, i even lived there in Grande from 2013 to 2016. Trinidad is not big on modernization, quite a shame.
Dear JB, My sister and I just completed our Sunday evening drive with you as you toured Grande! We enjoyed that it was a long walkabout which allowed us to feel like we were rignt there walking witb you. I have never visited Grande but there was something I think the last walkabout you did was around the savannah so it was nice to see an updated video. The colonial houses reminds me of what Trinidad looked like when we were growing up as children. The information that you shared about the name and its meaning was very interesting, I think I heard something like that before. As usual my sister and I were gabbing as ladies do, while the men do the work😅. Thanks JB!!
Another good coverage JB. And yes I agree with you, Grande looks like the place that time forgot. However the people are warm and easy to talk to, and I like that. The last time I visited Grande would have been some years well B.C. (Before Covid) A.C (After Covid) the furthest I have been is P.O.S. so it was nice seeing Grande again.😊 I would love to see a revamp of Grande but keeping the old-world colonial structure. My sister and I will definitely be looking forward to the drive-through of Grande. 😊
Wow thanks for this video…. I left Trinidad sangre grande over 21 yrs now…… oh how I miss my home town…. Coronation road sangre grande…. I attended old rc in boys town and government primary school when my school was renovating…… dam those days was the good old days…… I then attended ball head Rodney aka upstairs courts as you guys call it sangre grande educational institute…. I can’t wait to come back home great video…. Pls do a video off sangre grande coronation road I will really appreciate it… my grandparents own the home for age for over 50 something yrs that’s located in the begging of coronation road which my aunt is running now…. I grew up their until I moved to Brooklyn NY…. The George family
Jenna, thanks for your feedback. Sounds like you have many fond memories of Sangre Grande. For you, has a lot changed in 21 years or does it look more or less the same?
@@JBsManCave thanks for your fast reply back I really appreciate it….. honestly nothing hasn’t changed…. It looks the same way just different paint jobs on buildings…. Something really needs to be done with sangre grande….. as you stated before it looks like time has stop…. Sangre grande is beautiful with beautiful ppl….
Jenna, thanks for the confirmation. Hopefully, with a video like this a more vested interest in upgrading the infrastructure in Sangre Grande will happen. Of course, Sangre Grande people are some of the best.
Nicola, this is the walk through, but I do have drive through videos on Sangre Grande: Toco to Sangre Grande: th-cam.com/video/a6e3LjDuWbI/w-d-xo.html Trincity to Sangre Grande and beyond: th-cam.com/video/M5wh3nyJN2E/w-d-xo.html
I enjoyed the real natural feel of the video. I am encouraged to visit Trinidad again in person because of your videos. I'm from Barbados. So thank you.
Sangre Grande is where I grew up. I must say it has changed quite a bit since I moved away which is over 30yrs. There are a few historic buildings, like the old Post Office. Compared to other islands I must say I am proud to say this place is where I grew. Many childhood memories.
@@Keith070 which name... "Sangre Grande" - some say it is based on a river that gave off a red hue and others said it was a big battle between Spaniards and the First People.
Wow! Sangre Grande has changed little since I lived there in the 90s. I walked those streets before and you covered a lot of ground, I have a new found respect for you sir.
John, thank you kindly. Please let others know about JB's Man Cave. Feel free to check my other videos of T&T: jbsmancave.com/trinidad-and-tobago-road-trip-map/
Thanks for showing the Government school It was my first educational institution and the first time Im seeing it in many, many many years. Only the entrance is the same.The colors are not. There arevsome additional structures.
Hi JB this walk through was quite informative. The walk through definitely is more realistic so thank you for your time spent in bringing this video. I remember some of the main areas. The roundabout area. Not a place I frequented even when I lived in Trini because I didn't like the stretch to get there. Too scary. Originally from Arima. But Grande ppl loves Grande 😂. I do appreciate how original it still is though, although some may think it's backwards but it reminds me of how Trinidad was back in the day so it's nice to see the original format maintained. I know we all like modern buildings but the old ones are our history.
Bernie, thanks for your thoughts. For me, a place does not need modern buildings but it does need properly maintained infrastructure. In many cases we are talking about safety not even aesthetics.
@@JBsManCave I agree totally. History is fascinating to me. As a result I do appreciate wherever it still exists. I always enjoy these types of documentary or videos wherever I catch them. Again thanks for your dedication in touring our beautiful island going on various locations. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi I absolutely love and enjoy your videos however I wanted to comment and let you know the names of the places in your Princess Town to Moruga then San Fernando video but I did not see an option to do so .
Cherry, thank you kindly. What do you love about my videos? I just took a look at the video you referenced but there are existing comments there and it is open for more comments.
@@JBsManCave hi I'm seeing "live chat reply" not the regular space to leave a comment not sure what's going on there but anyway your videos make me feel like I'm there on the road the way you mention the pavements and other things the viewer might not notice makes your videos very interesting, good job 🙏
Cherry, thanks, I am glad it does that for you because that is what I try to portray in the raw nature of my videos. Here is even more: jbsmancave.com/trinidad-and-tobago-road-trip-map/
That 3 story building with the green roof is where The Chow Lin On family lived,was a flat house there,torn down and building was put up,Kirpalani even had a store there for a short time.
I have been abroad for 45 years,but passed through a cpl times for a very short time,did not see a lot of old friends i wish i could have..it still looks the same...
Hi I am looking at your video that was made one year ago of Sandy Grandy. I grew up there on Foster Road. I went to that Sandy grande government school boy it has changed and I hope along the line you show us foster road.
I did enjoy a Christmas in Trinidad I like the older people vibe more me from Jamaica hope the youth keep that vibe going in Jamaica every property have a fruit trees on it doesn't see that in Trinidad why ?
Hi I just watched your video of Sangre Grande - very interesting. I’m from U.S. I have a friend who goes to sangre grande about once a year to do construction work and cultivate the fields. He does this as a volunteer- he works with a man who lives in sangre grande. Anyhow, thanks again for the video. Do you have any videos from 2024?
A positive thing about Trinidad is that many have UpToDate vehicles for a tiny island. Comparable to anywhere in the world except Dubai or Sudi Arabia where you'd see more supercars. I want to hear more positivity in your videos.
Barry, you will hear both, keep in mind that in the end this is not about positivity or negativity but keeping it REAL because if one only wants to hear one side it means they are either in denial or delusional to reality. Besides, this video is about Sangre Grande... not car quality in Trinidad.
I like your videos regardless. I won't further that topic here or then I'll be pessimistic too. lol do a visit of Arima and CalvaryHill maybe even Blanchisseuse if you haven't already @@JBsManCave

Sterling, thanks for watching. How much has Sangre Grande, Trinidad changed for you?
@@JBsManCave I cannot even recognize my home anymore! Everything looks different!
