Princess Street, Downtown, Kingston, Jamaica

[@ms.sharon.7581]

Yes, yes, yes, I absolutely loved this one. Thanks again for sending it to me. I remember very little growing up in Jamaica in the 60’s Cornation market and out in Kingston with my parents. Thanks. From Montreal.

It's my pleasure Ms. Sharon

My Grandfather was born at 150 Princess street in 1915. He lived their with his mother (my Great Grandmother) and his brother which was born in 1918.Their house was the third house on the left, when you enter Princess street. They moved to Cuba in the mid 1920’s . Nice to see this video, where they lived, sitting on my couch in my house in Miami. Pretty Amazing that the structure is still standing today. Thanks for the video !

What cross street was Azan store?

[@pamellacole269]

I don't know but " Kwacou" said " Don't destroy my memories" but to me I like this video just to see the real Jamaica and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When I came to Jamaica 3 years ago I had to go downtown and walked on those roads including Princess Street and bought items for the fun of it just to get the feeling and refresh my memories of the days of old. These people just walk in thy road as if they are a traffic. Thanks for sharing.

[@rose-mariemalmen2601]

Thanks, I feel like I was there. Jamaica in my heart ❤️💚💛🇯🇲 Love it.

I hope they build back those streets the same downtown history must remain those buildings have stood the test of time...nothing wrong with building up... the place has changed so much...for the better but don't let them knock down the history some of them buildings are beautiful they just need some restoring...i wish I could come and do it....

Yes, these are Video Logs (Vlogs). In the future we can all look back.

[@factscheckeddall4221]

Nice a busy street

[@mrgrums3984]

Thank you for posting the intersections.Princess street was very familiar to me but i could not remember where it was until i saw Barry street. When i was a kid,Barry street was kingston's China town and runs west from Parade. Thanks again.

At the beginning of the video, what is that high red wall with the building s behind?

[@attorneyreid7]

Why every time I see a video of Jamaica it's always in the city or run down places? Jamaica is so diverse and there are many beautiful parts as well. Why don't you show those areas too? You give one point of view and people from America who don't travel think this is what Jamaica looks like. I'm from the country and it's beautiful up there with big beautiful houses, lush greenery, beaches, flowers, fruits growing on trees, streams and much more! I'm not a city girl so a tour of the city with its traffic and congestion does nothing for me. I would also like to see other areas and especially the country side.

[@InJamaica]

I think you should explore other videos on this channel. Princess Street is only one of the many video uploaded here. We aim to show all communities of Jamaica some you may not like some you will. Thanks for your comment and one love

[@janicerichards8959]

D Reid All cities in every Country all over the world are the same. No big deal we know that their are beautiful places in Ja. like every where else. Plus Princess street was a very popular place back in the day. It brings back memories for me. All the buses going to different parishes park and wait for the folks going to the Country.👏👏👏👏🖓✌✌✌✌✌❤❤❤❤

[@daciascott3446]

Because it's not all good and people need to see it . It's no different than the US . You have the run down and you have nice . The grass is not always green

[@dd-du9bz]

These are some of the best streets downtown this the real Jamaica if u made me choose uptown too downtown I'd go downtown 💯 country is nice for the day the beach is nice for the day exploring for the day is nice but u just gotta go back to where the action at downtown is where it's at...

[@jenniferchance5636]

Love my country, But the place need to fixup

[@shellone27]

What a piece a ting pan dat busy street! 😂😂....

[@monicasalmon9837]

It is so easy to say government need to fix the place but if the government step out and decide that is going to give the place a facelift same people that is on the street would kill him they or going to say who buried there or who born there some Jamaican will not look forward to progress they keep looking backwards That's just the truth operation is the key everybody

[@brucewactor7911]

I kno the gov can do better for these jamaican ppl it's a dam shame ppl still living in the 50s

[@jasonparkinson7621]

Why the capital luk suh?

[@JoyHarrison]

Mass migration from the rural areas has made Kingston overpopulated which helped to cause poverty. These areas have a lot of crime so they are neglected. A lot of businesses have left so there are many abandoned buildings.

[@jasonparkinson7621]

@@JoyHarrison - I don't think the problem is over population. I think the problem is poor governance. It's clear that the local municipality is doing a poor job by the apparent look of the place. Also, alot of the violent garrison communities were set up by politicians. Therefore, I think the problem is really politics and poor governance- and not over population.

[@JoyHarrison]

@@jasonparkinson7621 Hi. Yes, the garrison politics created the violence in these communities. This is connected to what I said in my comment above about how the crimes led to the neglect of these area.

[@jasonparkinson7621]

@@JoyHarrison - We both agree that there's a problem-and it's crime. I hope our government, one day, will start fixing the cause and not the symptom.🔨🔧

circa1838 u are so ignorant. That's the market area of Kingston. Kingston have many affluent areas. That u can only dream of living

[@jamrockpride2039]

@Junie JA Exactly, my point @ ur last line, it's apart of how we communicate when our ire is aroused, I'm not endorsing disrespect, but it's how we communicate as a people. Let's not have a pseudo belief of our propensity to react as a Jamaican. I'm laughing simply because Rory apparently took offence and reacted accordingly...

Disorganised and unplanned side of Kingston. Looks bad, government overlooks this side. No public safety, and right of way.

[@kwacou4279]

Please no bruk down, dutty disheveled videos with obese people. I prefer to see the more visually attractive areas. Yes I know these places well and old enough to remember what they were like and what they've become. I'd rather remember the past then to be reminded of the current decay. Mi is a country bwoy ,wen mi use to com ah town would see Kingston as this magical place. Don't destroy my memories.
