    The Dominicans are complaining. I saw a video that shows nothing is being done yesterday or today. The asphalt removal is complete after more than a week of work. Now the concrete deck removal will take a little longer before the dismantling of the steel structure. Its not looking good for a...

    I went tp puerto plata this morning and it took me one hour and 15 minutes. From el batey to jumbo. The broke down tractor trailer was sosua bound and broke down at the bottom of the very steep hill coming up to enter cangrejos. Amet was stopping traffic in one direction to let traffic through...

    New Sosua hospital?

    they been announcing it for years. No notice of a location. If they were going to break ground as the prez says , you would think they have a location all picked out.

    Cangrejos Bridge Has New Damage

    I think the biggest issue is all the idiots trying to pass on the bypass, parked cars and trucks in montellano don't help also some of the heavy trucks going up the steep hills can really slow things down.

    International wire transfer.

    last time I did a wire transfer from canada I had problems. I went to my branch here and they tell me the funds are on hold until I can show proof of where the money came from. Screen shots of my account for 6 months, copies of transfer receipts between accounts. A total pain in the ash. It was...

    Public School teachers accept to continue teaching through 21 December

    Their announcement is a little too late for some including me. First we are told Dec 16 then Dec 23 and now Dec 21. When I heard Dec 16 I made plans for my kid for the holidays so I guess she will miss those 3 days of "study"
