This blog is dedicated you!!!! The people and their own way of expressing themselves. I will link my blog to Christopher Mohip’s blog on 'Culture and Urban Nightlife" along with Nirvana Hanooman’s blog “The Modern City….A Mosaic….” and Tabeeta Dwarika's blog "Pity George Doesn't Have a Tree to Swing From (Concrete Jungle)".
The photograph above was taken at a popular nightclub known as
“NUVOSERA”. This area is called Arapita Avenue, one of the most popular
‘liming’ spots in Trinidad. This is related to Urban Geography as there are
many attractions in the city not only in the daytime business hours but also
the night.
With reference to Christopher’s blog, the nightlife can be a form of art as well as it is related to the citizens themselves in their own personal way of choosing to express themselves. They all go out to the avenue to party, drink and lime with their friends.

Nirvana’s blog greatly adds to my post, as the Avenue at night is
really amazing. It’s as if there is a non-stop hype in the city with all the
music and lights together with the uplifting atmosphere. Instead of the hustle
and bustle of the city and stressed out workers, the atmosphere is more relaxed
and populated by a middle age group who love to party and just throw away all
that stress.
Tabeeta's blog suggests that urban life takes away the green
spaces from area but here on the avenue there are parks and areas that can be
defined as green spaces. This allows for the interaction with the urban
structure and nature itself. Here on the avenue it seems as though everything
and everyone has a place.
Urban geography is related to this as it encompasses the business
places located within a defined area along the road. If a road transect were to
be done, it can be seen to have a lot of bars, clubs and food places and even
some green spaces (in the form of parks) where people of almost all ages
can interact with one another. Each area in the city can therefore be
seen to have sectors. For example, the waterfront area has more hotels and offices
located in that vicinity while the inner part of the city on the avenue has a
more nightclub oriented buildings.
Below is a video to show the nightlife at the club NUVOSERA!
