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.
Wesley Weir is a seaside settlement on the eastern end of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, a British Overseas Territory. Adjacent to the famous signposted "Eye in the Sky", it is situated at the junction of emerald green hills and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
The area is undulating, with tranquil bays and coral reefs. As part of the East End community of Tortola, Wesley Weir retains its pristine natural beauty, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and small, secluded beaches.
Wesley Weir is known for its secluded living environment and is an ideal stopping point for sailing enthusiasts and divers. The local architecture is mostly brightly colored Caribbean-style houses and the pace of life is slow, making it suitable for visitors seeking an escape to experience the native culture of the island.
