Canes fans: Where ya from?

Liberty City El said:
Originally from Tivoli Gardens Kingston Jamaica, raised in Liberty City but my Grandfather on my Dad’s side is from Trelawny Town & when we traced our family’s history we come from the Maroon lineage & even crazy enough, we actually have a bunch of our familial ancestors who escaped Jamaica & went to Florida, like a whole branch of Black Seminoles from Florida on our family tree. I’m basically part Nole in terms of Bloodline lol

Have family all over FLA from as far North as Apalachicola, to Riviera Beach, to Florida City on my Dad’s side.

On my Mom’s side most of her family is in Panama (she’s AfroPanamanian) & some are scattered throughout Belize, the ones who came & still live in America live in the Southwest.

But I’ve lived in many different places from FL, to Texas, Cali & even Mexico (Puebla for a year after college) throughout my lifetime.

So my wife’s grandparents are from Jamaica as well. Kingston I believe, and her grandfather also comes from Maroon lineage. They immigrated to New York and New Jersey though.

Edit: forgot to mention, her grandmother still has family in England. Need to keep asking what part lol they’re up there in age like 86 and 92.

Funny story I went to Pats on a business trip years ago and when ordering my Steak & Cheese at the window I asked if they had barbecue sauce and the guy told me to take off that they don't ruin their S&C with that. LOL

So I went across to Genos and didn't make that mistake again.

The cheese whiz was an interesting touch.

I have never tried the place in all my years.
And I hate Pat's and Geno's. I don't think I've tried Southsides, either. Southside, loved Gooue Louie's on 4th and Moyamensing for their hoagies and Jim's when I'm drunk but my old spots were Pagano's on 74th and Ogobtz before the Chinese bought em out, Max's but my ultimate two favorites are Dalessandro's and Leo's in Sharon Hill. Leo's is very underrated.
