    Any luck with Claro Business Account Reps in POP office?

    I spent many an hour in the past (most of them less than worthwhile) dealing with the business department at Claro in POP. I don't even know if they have a separate department anymore. I've had much better luck dealing with the business center in Santiago, but it's only been about Cell/Data...

    I know there is a recent thread on NFL Network, but this is specific to the Sosua/Cabarete area so I started a new thread.

I know...

    Looking for Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar

    They had it in La Sirena and Nacional in Santiago up until last month, but just checked recently and couldn't find it, looked at Bravo also. Has anyone seen it around? Preferably in Santiago or on the North Coast. It doesn't have to be Bragg's but it does have to be raw and unfiltered. Thanks!

    No one in DR should go hungry!

    I was at the drive through of Banco Popular in Sosua today. While waiting to complete my transaction I looked ahead of me and saw a coconut palm, avocado tree, and mango tree...all with fruit and all accessible by anyone who was really hungry! Besides the 100's of thousands of fruit trees...

    NFL Network on Delancer - replaced by MLB again!

    Delancer has once again replaced the NFL Network (channel 72) with the MLB Channel. I pay 100 pesos extra per TV for the package that contains NFL Network and now it's gone, presumably until the end of baseball season or the beginning of football season. To make matters worse, when no game is...

    Two questions: Has anyone taken the Turistica lately? If so, anything to report condition-wise? I did a search and didn't fine any news since last May. Is the Public Transport Union Huelga for Santiago happening today? Any reports of problems in Licey or Tamboril? I know Licey usually gets...
