Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Cumuto (Chaguanas) is the third largest city in Trinidad and Tobago, located in the central part of the island of Trinidad, about 20 kilometers southeast of the capital, Port of Spain. An important industrial and commercial center for the country, Cumuto is known for its manufacturing, agricultural trade and multiculturalism, with numerous factories, shopping centers and an active farmers' market. It is a densely populated area with mixed Indian and African communities and a strong cultural scene, and is a popular location for experiencing Tedo's "steel drum music" and food festivals. With its strategic location on the north-south transportation route and its economic vitality, it is a town node in the Caribbean that should not be overlooked.
