Westie - I always generalize when I speak about the Westend, when actually I don't mean much past Rick's, I mean the Westend Road. 20 years ago, from Rick's to town you would always see plenty of tourists walking the road. Now, not so much unfortunately. More tourists = more money brought into the Westend.
Back then, if someone was coming on too strong, someone would come out and tell himto gwan... cause they new that the tourists were their bread and butter. If you don't own the building for the business you are trying to create good luck. Rent is brutal for the business man. and again, no tourists no money, etc...
I wasn't really speaking about Jamaicans kissing tourists ass, I would never expect them to but it is a tourist town and little education with respect to that would go a long way...
