I love this topic of looking at where we were and comparing it to what we have now. I no longer reside in the south and i am not proud to say that i dont visit very much, the last time i saw San Fernando was 2 years ago but i am always proud to be from south especially when i hear people in town asking where so and so place is like Los Iros, Rancho Quemado and others. The joke that town people dont know anything pass the lighthouse is no joke at all, although i think they actually know as far as Grand Bazaar now, anything else is BUSH. I feel sorry for them as they will never experience swimming in the wharf (yes i did).

swimming on the wharf wasnt bad in earlier years as my pops would say, but now its dangerous because of all the trawlers and dumping going on.

Does anyone happen to have pics of the old Gulf City Mall, before the renovations? Before 2005 I think

[K74T]

Would be nice to see those, to bring back some memories.

Oldest online are 2007.

They completely changed the style of the mall. Guess it was necessary to keep up with the other malls in Trinidad

I know I might get some criticism for this but I think how they modernised it all for the sake of bringing in more shoppers literally killed it.
Yeah yeah, I know I sounding nostalgic but the truth is I used to be in there since a child eventually becoming a mall rat lol I actually worked there for a little while.
It had a family vibe for me and now it's just "come and spend". I don't know, something about them red tiles and green bars
Smoking section in the food court, Gallery, Celebs and Hi-RPM...good ole days

I agree 100%. The new look just feels impersonal. I spent most of my teenage years liming in the mall and get nostalgic vibes there too. Gulf was the place to be back then

Anyone with pictures of Cross Crossing before they changed it. With the Old switching hut with the leavers and stuff. They should have left something to remind us of that. and the Round About.
