    Back Migration to The DR

    I imagine they want to be near to other Dominicans to have a good support system. I know people sleeping 5 to a room just to say they're living in the states.

    Back Migration to The DR

    Absolutely! I tell most of the people i interact with here who want to go to the states that if you're not doing well here you're probably not going to have a good experience in the states. The "American dream" era is over. It's hard to go back and tell people you made a mistake or you're...

    Woman survives retainer wall collapse; begins to tell her story

    What i understand is that if the 911 ambulance comes, they are required to take you to a public hospital. Unless there were exceptions made for the issue, but I believe there should've been someone with some sense (or power) to ensure any survivor treatment without prejudice.

    Popeyes chicken

    I agree! I could never go to Outback or TGI Friday to have a meal. It's the same price as a decent restaurant here in the capital.

    Sirena: First Dominican Stores with Auto Checkout

    Definitely. You go to many walmarts stateside and there's 1-2 casheirs amongst all of the lanes. Urging people to go to the kiosks. I imagine they have some type of formula where theft and honest mistakes are less costly than all the expenses that come with paying each employee.

    Sirena: First Dominican Stores with Auto Checkout

    I went to Mcdonalds the other day where they have the kiosks. They asked if i was paying with card and directed me to there. So each other kiosks had an employee, and i asked the girl that if they had to have employees at each self-checkout isn't it useless? and she goes " people do not know how...

    Vehicles must carry two plates from next year!

    I have no idea how they'll be able to pull this off. My only thought would have been when people go to renew their marbetes.

    Popeyes chicken

    I would’ve thought the colonial zone was the ideal place. Foreigners and most of the black Americans live there.

    Info on getting started with Paso Rapido

    I bought it on Friday. I went to use it yesterday and it didn't read my sticker nor the people in front of me. A woman had to come to my car, ask me for the number on my tag, and enter it manually. Still faster than the toll lines but...should at least work?
