Home to Knolly’s Tunnel in Central Trinidad, the once active community of Tabaquite lies dormant with Christmas just five days away.
In years gone by the infectious sound of parang, street vending, concerts, children treats and other fun activities kicked off weeks in advance of the big day in the rural district.
Sunday Newsday visited Tabaquite on Friday and many of the residents complained of financial difficulties brought on by the covid19 pandemic and not being able to go all out as they usually did.
