I had to leave before the end but I will look at it in it's entirety with my sister soon! I'll comment again then. What I saw was really nice though!! It was good to see an area I never visited but heard so much about.
@JBsManCave I am rattled by the vertical drive I would have to undertake AND finishing yesterday, worried about stormy wind in such exposed region. That said live on a hill so accustomed and you point out may deter theft.
Thank you so much for that trip through the park in Glencoe seeing my stepfather's house flooded me back with amazing memories of my mother and my stepfather to the doctor I love Trinidad I have never felt so at peace that I have at that house
My family lived on the left hand side 28.11 when I was 12 yrs old, this was then a vibrant places with lots of kids playing on the streets, well kept properties
so much memories but i never been up that part of Glencoe i'm usually used to the first road in before the river. My childhood was filled with visiting the Harris family as my grandfather Mr. Nero used to fix up houses so he either build or repair most of the houses that area . I rarely get back home so next time i would like to visit the place to see if the house is still there.
Hi JB. I am living abroad. I really appreciate all your videos on T&T l love your comments on keeping .on presentation on T&T clear . Would be possible to do a drive through video on lower sister road hardbargin
Ron. What do you love about my comments? Not sure where you are asking me to drive through. However, please see: www.jborde.com/frequently-asked-questions/
Want to learn about Trinidad and Tobago? See: th-cam.com/video/x5ABCjCADrE/w-d-xo.html if you want some true TRINI TALK as well as get to know the creator of these videos: JB at JB's Man Cave.
Glencoe and Shorelands have been carved out of Pt Cumana . Glencoe and Shorelands are the gentrified areas. Pt Pumana is a very old village that is mention in TnT history books as far back as the early 1900s.
I like your accent JB. You are doing a great job. You should take your wife and do some walking. Now I remember hiring a fishing boat near Glenco. Would that be right? We caught some fish the locals simply called Red Fish. This was before you were a small child.
Darwin, thank you kindly. Concerning getting a fishing boat near Glenco, yes it can be possible by Point Cumana but most people go by Chaguaramas to do that.
Thank you, JB. I lived in Glencoe. I am familiar with the area. I have friends on Strathavon Avenue . I noticed the streets on the left side of La Horquette Road, behind HiLo are Scottish. It is more built up now.
Jennifer, thank you kindly. Please invite others you think may be interested in my videos to Subscribe for free so this Community can grow. Which country are you in now?
@@JBsManCave I am a subscriber. I am very familiar with Western Trinidad. Your videos are very nostalgic. I'm so saddened by the crime situation. It seems to go on unabated; I dread reading the Trini newspapers now.🥲
Jennifer, thanks for Subscribing and letting your friends know. Yes, crime is bad, but its not just the crime, but the service, infrastructure and overall attitude in the country. You can see my Issues playlist to get the gist of what I am talking about: th-cam.com/video/uze2Mp16B90/w-d-xo.html
Wow, didn't realize Glencoe was so vast. Once more thank you. Enjoyed seeing this area of Trinidad. Is there any way you could have done it in four parts? 1/2 an hour each. Not sure of the rules for "You tube". Would it be counted as four videos and allow you to get more $$
Interesting indeed. I never realized there were so many millionaires in the country! This area is strikingly similar to the Hollywood Hills, CA. (where the "Hollywood" sign is). The differences; In California the flora is mostly desert species, here it's tropical. There are many street lights here. In CA. there are NONE! On a dark moonless night, if you are driving here and you do not belong here. You WILL Get Lost!
Thanks for your feedback. That is a big comparison to compare Glenco, Trinidad to Hollywood Hills, California, USA -- I would have to take a look. However, if you watched the whole video you will see that not everywhere in a designated 'upscale' area is actually upscale. That is one big difference I believe in comparison to upscale in the US.
@@JBsManCave Living in CA. is Expensive. Living ontop of a hill In CA. is multi-millionire or billionaire level! How about Rio De Janeiro. The peopl high on the hill with the $$$$$$ veiw Are All "Squatters"!
As you're speaking about The Renaissance being affected by an earthquake I can't help but remember all the corruption and tax payers money that paid for that billion dollar private project. How many hospital beds or MRI machines could have been bought instead? I guess the two brothers that live in Glencoe and Goodwood Park can admire their empire from high up and sleep well while the poor in this country suffer.
@@JBsManCave One person might get a contract to rent scaffolding for the govt for a couple million and build his house with it another might rent an office for the govt for 320 million and build The Renassaince with it. It's all being done with taxpayers money at the end of the day. Don't want to get too deep down that rabbit hole because it may become political. Anyways great video as usual JB. Glencoe has some really fantastic houses!
@@JBsManCave Don't think I do not appreciate your video. I do, but the parts that have a lot of bush, maybe if they had the area in front of their homes nicely landscaped, I would have liked it. I never went there, so I am just going by the drive and I might be wrong because I am not seeing there in person.
Island, I understand... but it does make me wonder if you only came in for the section of the video that happened to be the 'not so good' parts of Glencoe? Start the video from the beginning, where I go up Newbury Hill... that is the best of Glencoe, in my opinion.
@@JBsManCave Yes, I probably came in nearer to end with the bushy parts. I am now looking at it from the beginning and I can see that there are affluent areas and is more or less what I expected. I am afraid of even lizards, so to live in an area that is hilly and with that type of vegtation which may have snakes, etc., it would be difficult for me to handle. I would prefer a less forested area. What type of professions do these people have? Upkeep of the grounds alone would be very expensive. I live in downtown Toronto and I left Woodbrook and St. James decades ago after I left school, so I did not get a chance to see these areas. Because Woodbrook is becoming so commercialized, I will not be able to live in Woodbrook again. For a matter of fact, I would want some space around my home if I lived in the Caribbean. Thanks for creating history for Trinidad. As you said, hopefully these videos will be on TH-cam for years. I hope you are keeping a copy of everything on an external drive. You know how technology works. Thanks again for what you are doing. I will share your videos with a few people.
Islandgirl, the professions of the home owners I do not know but I suspect that many of them are business owners or the executive of companies. Sounds like you are thinking of returning to Trinidad and looking to buy property? Thanks for sharing the link to the video.

Glencoe potholes? Not one corner is spared neglect. The Hi lo grocery branch I worked a bit. Neat if the powers that be invested by us, the people with power built middle class housing for the non millionaires - 99% of the population that resemble athluent neighborhoods with our tax/.
After seeing the whole video, what are your thoughts about Glencoe in Trinidad, an island in the Caribbean?
I had to leave before the end but I will look at it in it's entirety with my sister soon! I'll comment again then. What I saw was really nice though!! It was good to see an area I never visited but heard so much about.
Nice neighborhood
I like the homes
I like living on the mountain. I'm from Tobago I live on the mountain

Thanks JB for the very most recent posting here. Really brings back memories for sure. Bless up now.
Clinton, glad you enjoyed the drive through Glencoe.
I love all the nooks and crannies that Trinidad 🇹🇹 has that we don't know exist
Merchant, thanks for watching Glencoe in Trinidad.
My stepfather lives in the park I've been there about 20 times love it my favorite place in the world
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm so happy to have found your channel. Happily subscribed and sharing.
Valerie, thanks so much. Please ask your friends and family to Subscribe for FREE! It drives me to create MORE videos. 😉
Very beautiful area

Nice video. When I'm home I usually stay with my auntie in the Park La Horquette Branch Rd.

My word the tale of the two glencoes..
Yes, I mentioned that in your comment about watching the "rich."
JB you must know Trinidad very well!
Michelle, it sure is getting to be like that. Then again what you see everyone else gets to see on JB's Man Cave!
Hey he know North/West TRINI very well 👍 ...But East/South TRINI he is doing his best ..I like looking at his vlogs..
Jameel, East and South getting there... I'm sure you haven't seen all of my videos of those areas. 😉
@@JBsManCave Hey JB I am sure that I have not seen all of your vlogs, no disrespect intended.
Jameel, none taken, just saying that I do have lots of footage of down South and East in case you have not seen it.
There's a place in Maraval, Beaumont Ridge. Idk if you'll get access to it but it has some massive beautiful houses there
Ricko, thanks for the tip. I only go where there are public roads and some areas are blocked off.
@@JBsManCave ok understand, sometimes the security allow people sometimes not.
Ricko, regardless of security, once it is not public accessible I do not record it.
Wow, didn't realize Glencoe was so vast. Once more thank you. Enjoyed seeing this area of Trinidad.
Is there any way you could have done it in four parts? 1/2 an hour each. Not sure of the rules for "You tube". Would it be counted as four videos and allow you to get more $$
Rhona, if a video is long just stop when you are tired and when you come back to it TH-cam should remember where you left off if you are logged in.
Now watching this video..interesting..
Thanks for your input into Glenco, Trinidad.
That was a wise move at 57 minutes JB!
Michelle, thanks, the road more or less ended there anyway, I would have to of gone on foot.
Nice neighborhood
Yes, most of it.
That was my stepfather's house at the end when you can see the Twin Towers at the end of the road
Thanks for watching.
JB you are quite right in turning around (57.min)
Halceon, thanks, the road more or less ended there anyway, I would have to of gone on foot.
Got to have a good working car living on those hills for sure.
Indeed. Thanks for your input into Glenco, Trinidad.

@@JBsManCave here is a video (just copy and paste) HOLLYWOOD HILLS Drive 4K 🌴Los Angeles Virtual Driving Tour (Beachwood Canyon) 🌴 No Talking
Yeah, still don't see that comparison.
@@JBsManCave Living in CA. is Expensive. Living ontop of a hill In CA. is multi-millionire or billionaire level!
How about Rio De Janeiro. The peopl high on the hill with the $$$$$$ veiw Are All "Squatters"!
Interesting take. Those contrasts you mentioned exist within this country at the same time depending on the mountain. 😉
55:30 *shame* is not the authority's vocabulary, who responsible.
Thanks for your input into this video.
Glencoe also a scottish village!😁
How so?
@@JBsManCave I presume the place being near 🇬🇧 inspiration to the local one?
I would like a house in this area. Crime is all over the world
Ok
The earthquake affected one woodbrook place not those towers
Ricko, I believe those towers were also affected.
As you're speaking about The Renaissance being affected by an earthquake I can't help but remember all the corruption and tax payers money that paid for that billion dollar private project. How many hospital beds or MRI machines could have been bought instead? I guess the two brothers that live in Glencoe and Goodwood Park can admire their empire from high up and sleep well while the poor in this country suffer.
Brad, I did not know that project had public input, but that is another topic. What do you think about Glenco as it is today?
@@JBsManCave One person might get a contract to rent scaffolding for the govt for a couple million and build his house with it another might rent an office for the govt for 320 million and build The Renassaince with it.

Brad, thanks for clarifying. Yes, thanks for avoiding politics because that is a road down to uncivil input from others who might be reading.
JB if I had the choice , I would choose to live on a mountain.
JB did I hear you right? The kids are not enjoyed long rides anymore?
I prefer live in south,plenty land and trees.North feels too cold and foreign for me
Ok, so what do you think about Glenco, Trinidad?
I prefer valsayn ❤
Why?
I always though it was a more classy looking area. Maybe certain parts. Too much bush and unkept hedges.
Islandgirl, thanks for your input into the Glencoe area.

Did you watch the whole video? I would not say Glenco is all "rich." There are some nice parts and not so nice parts.
😂

@@JBsManCave JB I forgot! It was a comment made that I thought was funny.😁
