Island community feels ‘more free spirited’
“I came down here from New York, but my family’s originally from the Virgin Islands.”
“I was born and raised in the Virgin Islands, and just moved up here a year and two months ago.”
“There’s a big island community around here. There are a lot of people from Trinidad, St. Lucia, St. Croix, and you see a lot of Puerto Ricans up here.”
“The vibe is almost like you’re back home again, although the environment is different here. A lot of people here are more stressed. But we’re more free spirited. Everybody just tries to relax, feel good and have a good time.”
