I lived on Jackson street and paid $120/month for boarding (3 meals and a room) at Mr.Lakhan's house. Later lived on McEnroy st. and Watt st. etc., Doubles were 50 cents each. I revisited in 1990 to so lots of changes. With so much oil revenue, this tiny nation should be prosperous but income distribution and other factors may explain the current situation. I love Trinidad, it is only place on the world where people of all colors and shapes are considered equal.
