Constant Spring, Jamaica

It's a residential neighborhood in northern Kingston, but don't expect an idyllic country retreat. Constant Spring plantation was once described as "one of the best" on the island, but those days are long gone. Today, the area is referenced in a string of mid-1970s reggae songs, reflecting the gritty realities of life here. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the climate can be oppressive. This isn't the place for the faint of heart - Constant Spring is for those who can handle the challenges of urban Jamaican life.
