      Actually, it's the opposite. When you go inside some of them they are disappointed especially with the older homes. They just used a draftsman to put rooms together. Sometimes the lay out make no sense and they are not as elegant as you would thought. The new homes have more ambience.

      Elephant Man's house, with its distinctive features and the energy around it, definitely adds a unique touch to the area. Madge's comments highlight how diverse and vibrant the culture is, even through the lens of architecture and celebrity homes. Thanks for sharing this bit with us!

    Thanks for this, as you showcased my childhood home!! The one with that “ impressive” driveway that went downhill. 😂 It wasn’t too bad once you learned how to drive in it. Our Mum taught my sister and I how to do hill starts on it. Over time we even learned how to reverse up and reverse down it, because of necessity!!🤣 One foolish person tried to turn around on the road using our driveway and his car got stuck sideways!!! He had to get it towed. The neighbourhood has changed a lot. Highland Close does continue up and over and links to Chancery Hall and has connection to Smokey Vale, and from there into Stony Hill.
    BTW, in case no one said, the community that is on the top of the hill where Mannings Hill road runs, is Amour Heights and West Oakridge. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I’ve walked that path many times coming home from school. Cheers!!

    • @RedButtonJournal
      @RedButtonJournal  4 месяца назад

      Big up yourself, and thanks for sharing those nostalgic memories with us! 😄 Sounds like that driveway gave you lots of valuable driving skills! The story about the car getting stuck sideways is classic 😂. Appreciate the update on Highland Close and the connection all the way through to Stony Hill. Also, big thanks for the info about Amour Heights and West Oakridge! Cheers to many more trips down memory lane! Bless up yourself!

    I remember Heavendale. It’s an old neighborhood with old working class money. You should take a tour of Meadowbrook, too. Many of the old residents left back in the 70s and 80s to foreign. Aunty Mazie is right though. Many of the original owners died out, some leaving no will; others, their generations have no interest in the property. It’s sad. 🇺🇸🇯🇲

    Hello Tom & Madge. I enjoyed very much watching your videos. Your luxury house tour videos are awesome and they highlight Jamaica well. I have not been back to Jamaica 🇯🇲 in a long while. Is it possible for you when you have some time to tour the University of the West Indies campus in Kingston? Perhaps your next episode could be the college tours of Kingston. Also, can you please visit Hope Gardens and Zoo, located in uptown Kingston. Anyhow. Thanks a lot for showcasing Jamaica and I just want you to know that I’ve shared out your videos to many of my friends and family. Enjoy.!!

    I like the extra lawn space outside the brick fences before the curb. That is something I rarely see up north. I have forgotten about that feature in Jamaican homes and I have been building architectural model houses out of card stock since I was ten in the U.S. Nice work

    Tom, Madge those palms at the entrance to the property are a variety of the giant phoenix palm. That looks like the canary island date palm. They grow quite tall and are one of my favourites. They however have some seriouly dangerous spikes on the boughs. You don't want one of them to stick you. At the right side of the next property entrance, the low palm-looking plant to the right of the garbage receptacle is actually a cycad - not a palm. Love it too. It's easier to control its growth in a large pot. When in the ground it's likely to spring off a lot of suckers or off-shoots and you have to frequently detach them else the plant can get disarranged and untidy. Finally to the right of the cycad is another variety of the phoenix palm - the phoenix roebelenii or the Pygmy Date Palm. It's a neater one for your garden if you have limited space. The boughs also have spikes but smaller ones of course. Keep up your tours. You guys are such a lovely couple.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour.
    That was an upscale neighborhood in the 70s/80s. Homes are still gorgeous. I notice no sign of kids in the neighborhood. I wonder if it is now a predominately seniors' neighborhood. It seems to be a very quiet area.
    The view from the top is spectacular.
    Thanks for taking us along with you. It feels like I'm right there with you.
