In which I tour the section of Port of Spain destroyed by fire on April 9, 2005 in the company of architect Mark Franco, and ponder the past, present and future of Trinidad and Tobago’s capital city.
Click here to see photos of the area both during and after the incident. Thanks to Horace Ové for the “during” photos.

I’m not sure if this says shameful things about me or not but I actually learn a lot more things from this podcast than I can remember learning from secondary school. I’m sure my parents don’t know some of this stuff. Thanks.
This is one of the better podcasts I’ve listened to. Great job!
It’s good for people to be reminded that the “little man” in business and, indeed, the “man in the street” have very clear and meaningful ideas about society. Too often we’re presented with melodramatic and sensationalistic views of average folks. This programme had some psychological (and historical) depth to it, which is outstanding.
