Richard Hy­atali, Bo­nan­za Street, Princes Town, ven­dor: “Princes Town needs to have all of those big trucks stop pass­ing through the town from six to six be­cause it is a small town and Princes Town needs some main­te­nance. For a mod­ern day, is this how a town sup­posed to look? It is the place to come for a good deal like clothes, food, every­thing. And we have the best veg­eta­bles in all the is­lands be­cause every­thing com­ing fresh from the gar­den and prices re­al nice, rea­son­able...”

Ju­nior Daren Williams, Lendore Road, Princes Town, ven­dor: “We need good co­op­er­a­tion be­cause that is some­thing we don’t have. For in­stance, the po­lice al­ways ha­rass­ing us…any­thing a man come out to sell, they ha­rass­ing us. We want prop­er rep­re­sen­ta­tion. I would tell peo­ple how nice the place is, a won­der­ful and beau­ti­ful place to vis­it. You could make a liv­ing up here and is the cheap­est town in the South. You could shop all day and all night.”

William Fred­er­ick, Gas­par­il­lo, shoe­mak­er: “They need a big­ger car park for cus­tomers. I would tell the pub­lic to come for plen­ty of bar­gains like clothes, shoes, leather craft, slip­pers, san­dals, chil­dren stuff, best prices.”

Anie Pra­boocha­ran, Hin­dus­tan, Princes Town, hair­dress­er: “We need bet­ter pave­ments be­cause stores have plen­ty of stuff packed on the pave­ments, so we need more walk­ing space. The prices are very cheap here and the qual­i­ty is great too.”

Usha Ram­nath, Princes Town, fruit ven­dor: Princes Town needs a prop­er park­ing sys­tem for the ven­dors which none of the ven­dors have. If you no­tice right around, take a look for your­self; on­ly no-park­ing signs. A cus­tomer comes to buy some­thing for $10 and gets a $1,000 tick­et. It's ridicu­lous, it makes busi­ness slow, right now every­body's busi­ness dropped and things are al­ready slow in the coun­try. We have the best stuff in Princes Town, ob­vi­ous­ly. We have all the fresh fruits—lo­cal and for­eign. And be­ing more to the coun­try­side, we get the bet­ter stuff. Prices are good, like this fruit I'm sell­ing for $40 a pound, a guy said he paid $80, you see the big dif­fer­ence? We have the best prices, it's just we have a prob­lem with park­ing.

Alvin Cadette, Ma­yaro, trades­man/busi­ness­man: Princes Town needs prop­er gov­er­nance. Year to year you're see­ing lack of de­vel­op­ment. Look at the con­di­tion of the mar­ket, the pub­lic in­con­ve­nience, the prob­lems taxi dri­vers are hav­ing. Take a look at the con­ges­tion in the town, it needs prop­er ad­min­is­tra­tion and gov­er­nance.

Princes Town is sit­u­at­ed on the south­east of T&T where you could get a va­ri­ety of items. It's a place where peo­ple are lov­ing and nice.

All dif­fer­ent eth­nic races come to­geth­er and make one com­mu­ni­ty in uni­ty.

Princes own is best known for shop­ping for a wide va­ri­ety of stuff from food, cloth­ing, and even al­co­hol. Take a look at Rat­tan's, that alone speaks for it­self.
