Good job! I spent my early years living off Mountain View and didn't know many of these streets. I also didn't know that there was a Mountain View Primary School and didn't know that Mountain View Terrace existed. I remember Excelsior, but thought it was on the other side of Mountain View. I only learned about the neighborhood many years after I moved away. Thanks for the tour.

Mountain View Ave has many stories

[@trishnewman910]

I watched Mountain View Primary school being built. From them clearing the bushes to putting up the structure. I remember they found a huge yellow snake over there. My sister and I were amongst the first set of students there when it opened. Mr Campbell was the head master. Ms. Henry, Mr Grandison , Mrs Smith and mrs. Sutherland are among the teachers I can recall. To the right by the ,you had a Radtafarian family living there. I was in class with one if the sons, i think his name was Uriah. Fond memories.

[@JamaicanInsider]

@@trishnewman910 Wow you have an incredible memory. Thanks for sharing.

[@trishnewman910]

@@JamaicanInsider you are so welcome. Hahaha... could not remember anything when I was in school. Probably it was the amount of whipping I used to get from that Mr Campbell . You want to know the worse part? I had a fight one day, and he waited until school was over to address the issue with me. That day was a teachers meeting and for whatever reason, his son was at the school visiting. You know what this man did? The man beat me in front of all the teachers present and to add insult to injury, his son was there too. The man had me stretch out each hand to get the licks, every time the licks reached me, I had to rub my hands on my uniform as it was so painful. Then if that was not enough, he threw some of the licks over my back for added measures. Wicked!!!!... The thing about this beating was, there is no way I could let my parents know about it, especially my dad, because I would have to answer the question of why was I fighting? Those were the days. Thanks again.

Back in those days Mountain View was much better kept up than it now is. I actually use to go to my music lesson class in Jacques Rd. There were lots of beautiful gardens people could relax on there verandas then a trip down to my local cinema Rialto. Just how much I've embalmed those days of my youth.

First time seeing your vlog and it’s where I used to live and attend school (the great Excelsior). If I knew you were doing this video I would’ve asked you to point your camera over at 150. Don’t think the house is there anymore though. As it is with most places there are two separate worlds. The top part of Mountain View is more boujee and the lower part is the opposite.

[@JamaicanInsider]

Glad you could find this video and my channel. Feel free to check the other videos, you may find them worth watching. The lower part may be less boujee but just as important in my eyes. Thanks for watching

How Top Range got its name. Going up the View, Top Range is exactly above the Shooting Range. No other community, has an official, Shooting Range. Many pass this Range, and don't even know it. Even this tour did not mention, the Range, cause the narrator, is not familiar with Mountain View.
