    I remember Tops Kentucky Fry Chicken. It was in Crossroads. It was a little white building. It had a wooden barrel in the front that revolves. Those were the good old days. I remember Pomeroy Chinese restaurant. It was right by the intersection at Hagley Park road and Waltham Park Avenue. Their food was so good. Their fried chicken 🍗 was the best. Johnson's Drive inn curry goat 🐐 was good in the 60s. My older brother used to buy me and my younger sister curry goat and white rice on Fridays. 😊

    Hi: About the year 1977 there was a restaurant name 'Big Daddy' on French Street in Spanish Town very close to the book store that has been there since the 60s. They use to serve peppered steak that was very tasty. It was an upstairs building and they had psychedelic light for dancing. Also you mention Johnsons Restaurant in the video, they were located at the intersection of Maxfield Ave and Chisholm avenue. They used to serve curry goat that was very delicious and I had dinner there in the mid 80s. Please be informed that when I went to high school in the mid 60s I ate patties and cocoa bread for lunch.

    Me and Mr. Sinclair, we know when soda fountains were the place a chap takes his lady on a first date and back then they actually had real ‘soda jerks’!! 😂. I don’t have much experience with the country restaurants but the town ones I know well. Bruces, CBs, Tops, Johnsons Drive Inn, these are mostly fast food/fry chicken joints. Hoping pt. 2 will cover some of the sit down/dine-in restaurants. I’d love to hear some mention of Pauls (Harbour Street); probably one of the best restaurants in the 60s - early/mid 70s. The owners of the plaza where Mr. Sinclair started his chicken outlet were close friends. This brought back some great memories. Thank you!

    On our 1st trip to Jamaica in about 1982 we went to the Shakey's Pizza in Ochi I believe ( could have been MoBay ) which was so fun as it was a childhood favorite from the location in my hometown in the States , Huntsville , Alabama ! I absconded with a Red Stripe Dimple Beer Mug that I long treasured but alas as since been lost . Ever since I have treasured Red Stripe on Draft ( tap ) over bottle , but it rare to find it seem . Restaurants are the ties that bind communities together , where we gather to socialize , where we work , and when they are gone many are so fondly remembered from times go by of simpler times we wish we had back . The Restaurant industry though fraught with hurdles has long been a great opportunity for many . We have owned & operated many restaurants and always dreamed of having one in JA but 'mon it a tough tough business anywhere ! and Yes unfortunately it can also be a dangerous business ! FYI - "Henny Penny" is a USA brand of commercial pressure fryers used widely in the food service industry.

      Many factors come to play. You have to look at how different generations view the world. Running a restaurant is HARD work. You get up very early in the morning to prep and start cooking and leave very late at night. When the kids grow up, the restaurants don't have the capital to expand or to pay the kids as employees. Also, the kids would be able to earn more working in an office etc.
      Many times, kids seeing their parents doing that choose to go work for someone else. Those generations also encouraged people to get jobs in offices, doctors, etc. We were never taught that business ownership was a great thing. We were not taught that having technical skills was a way to success. We were not taught that engineering qualifications were great. We were, and still believe that getting to foreign is the way to success. Then we come to foreign and work harder than 100 horses. Bankers with homes and great paying jobs in Jamaica coming to the US to work as CNAs and clean people and subject themselves to abuse, which they would NEVER tolerate in Jamaica.
      SO when those generations got older many of those places closed unfortunately.

    I read an article in the Gleaner in the 80s interviewing JA boxing promoter Lucien Chen, that he had the opportunity to buy or buy into the KFC brand in the 60s but did not. It was the worldwide brand KFC, not just the local franchise. Tropical Friend Chicken - the #13 bus terminus was to the west side - on the same road where the red Mazda van parked in the video. and opposite Sombrero, a bar or nightclub, I believe - which was north of Tropical - across the street on Molynes. The early 80s - $5 for a two-piece chicken from Tropical. Chicken was good. Trident was primo. Jogged past there once. I heard MJ stayed there - not sure how true

      @mariasproducts2186.Isnt there other places where you have massive bank robberies all the time. Why single out Jamaica. Is it the worst place in the world 🌎 for those sort of thing. Why are you so biassed.

    Downtown, Pink and Black store, with the man blaring the bargains on the mic inviting you to come shop; Woolworth was the store, man, $9.99, yes infortunately, bank holdups/robberies were frequent. Times Store restaurant, best steamed egg custard; Winston made the best milkshakes. Wonderful days. Introduction of White Witch Perfumes, made in Jamaica, cheap! Lordy, lordy
