I still love the old time reggae and play it often in my bar . In my opinion only I think that Negril/Jamaica's problem fuels almost 100% on the "cogilino " and the structure that supports it . This starts from the top and goes to the bottom.

I think you might have something there. I too go to Corner Bar and do think about the 'hit' that happened some months ago.... It kinda gives me chills while sitting there. I don't tend to go to any shop other than the one in the lane, where there are pretty much only family from the lane that go. Maybe go to the ghetto every now and then to visit a friends shop. Going out on the road in the evening is rare for me.
It is an inner struggle between being comfortable and safe and still wanting to go somewhere that I have gone for many years (for you Tayons) though we know we are taking a chance in being in the wrong place at possibly the wrong time.
As I have said in another post, my eyes are wide open, but I am not willing to give up on Jamaica yet...
