The death of rum shops

[fishs]

 

  This article is more than just about the rum shop thing, this is the death of an industry that brought most of us to these islands... reflect on Carribean man by Stalin and Redemption song.

 Right or wrong this is a turning point in our history but never forget it.

 Its where we came from

[Dr. Rat]

Mr. Ram's rum shop on El Socorro road was a local watering hole.  I remember the days when a carib was $3 and cold no ass.

at anyrate i think that article more alluding to the demise of the rumshop as it relates tot he sugar cane farmers and a tradition. in smaller communites like rampanalgas, blanchicesse biche etc and even mayaro...rum shop tradtion still alive ...still..how long again who knows, but dont nail de coffin before de body inside nah
