Before the Jolly burnt down I was at Alberto's across the street having dinner and saw something that bothered me so much it is the sole reason I wont go there. There is a crippled guy in Sosua - many may know who I'm talking about - one of his leg is curled in, both of his arms curl in and he struggles to walk - his face is somewhat deformed and I think he has both a physical and mental handicap - he doesn't communicate very coherently. Yes he begs but he also is out in the street picking up tins and garbage for pesos - he does try to earn his keep. He passed there on this night and I think he was asking the people at the tables on the sidewalk for $ (very common) and a big dude that worked there at the time came out, grabbed him from behind, lifted him right of the ground and hurled him into the street. It was disgusting. After wards some other people (non Dominican) who I believe were management came out of the establishment like patting him on the back like what he did was great. The guy who got hurled is harmless and had they said get out of here he would have left 
On another note - a couple friends of mine (who I would not call old) play bingo there all the time and one of my friends wins $$ quite often!

It was not a surprise to me when JR had its electrical malfunction,,,,,
I'm not saying it was right. But you know the way the "electrical fires" go here.....either you're too successful & didn't BOHICA properly or .... whatever. Napkins were supposed to be blue that day.
JR is not my scene, but they do a fab biz & keep many happy. They also do great nonprofit work.
You won't see me there, but I respect what they do.
