It's A Town Thing


With the Caribbean becoming more like "Little Americas", it is not foreign to witness activities that were traditional Global North culture. Trinidad especially, is no stranger to this. It's capital, Port of Spain, according to Caribbean Journal, is the most developed in the English speaking Caribbean and it shows through its nightlife. Popular places like the Queen's Park Savanna, Ariapita Avenue and St. James 'City That Never Sleeps", all contribute to the rich nightlife of Port of Spain. With famous clubs and bars for "liming", entertainment and all-night street foods, Port of Spain is an integral contributor to Trinidad and Tobago's culture.
Though, the nightlife seems crazy in a good way, daytime, Port of Spain is filled with locals and traffic. Busy with people heading to work, school, running errands and shopping, the streets of the CBD, Port of Spain is always lively. It is not bizarre to spot locals at bars "liming" or entertaining themselves from as early as 9am around Port of Spain. Its an insanely cool, relaxed lifestyle with plenty to see and plenty to do. 
This blog seeks to creatively explore the culture of the urban during the day and the night.
