    I'm sure you know some upstanding wealthy and well educated people on the N. Coast. Yet the real wealthy or very well educated seldom flock to the DR North Coast or Cap Cana. Well, there are some affluent criminals hiding out, even or especially in Sea Horse Ranch as reported by Germany...

    If you are from the UK, you know what's going on! The South of France attracts wealth for a reason, as does Luxemburg.

    President Abinader: Better roads, no more international airports

    Rather than engaging in election politics, Abinader should focus on small things his government is not capable of solving. Repairing holes in roads, repairing broken side walks also with holes a person can disappear in. The last month I've been every day in P.P. traveling on the hyw. There...
