Cabarete, DR
I have some questions :
1. Will they close the new club being built/refurbished in P.C, supposedly owned by influential person(s) ?
2. Why did the Air Force get involved ? Is the Air Force going to start air patrols to spot the ladies of negotiable affection 😂?

Keeping it in the spirit of Funny Friday.....

#1 The special commission and the Mayor will say that the new club will allow all the chicas and WW off Pedro C. in order so that families can enjoy their evening strolls within the city. 🤣

#2 The Air Force has a supply of drones that can be used to chase those spandex chicas, while providing them some well needed exercise. 🍰🍬🥮

This appears to be the first time that Willy has been in agreement with any type of control. Could it be that he has received marching orders from a higher authority?
Perhaps. Time will tell.
"...The growing situation of prostitution on Pedro Clisante Street." Growing? There is half the number of young ladies on the street that there used to be.
That is what I would have thought as well. I thought the government might be satisified with past progress, but obviously there is more work to be done.

Anyboy see the drones they are using? I hear they are very small..
Just kidding. This is such an enduring saga in Sosua, mainly confined to one part of one street. What control measures will they take?

Well, as prostitution is legal, it seems that the only real law the girls are breaking is the one against loitering. If all of the ladies fit into the new, expanded Classicos disco the loitering issue could be resolved.

Prostituion is not illegal is a better way to state it.

Having a one stop shopping center for them might pose some legal issues.
And the bar in question is still in that very area that authorities are trying to "Clean UP".
So time will tell how it works out.

You mention a "bar in question". The business you refer to, is now a restaurant and nightclub. I believe that puts them into the acceptable category according to the new rules.

Well, rules is rules until they change yet again. The process used in Sosua to clean up one small part of one street has been at best tedious and rather error prone. How an establishment in that very region makes things better in the eyes of the government remains to be seen. I suspect more errors will be forthcoming.

Why change rules in Sosua when the ones they have are never enforced? ;)
