SDE is already chaotic, especially in that area. As being a satellite city to DN and now the biggest municipality in the DR (1.1 million, 2023 Census) the growth has been skyrocketing over the last 10 years. From Danilo to Abinader, now the plans are to extend the Metro to the Airport, through...

It all starts from the Trujilo Era: centralizing the power in Santo Domingo so local power (caciques, big family names, major landowners) was diminished and forced everyone to do business in Santo Domingo. It wasn't until the 80s-90s that Santiago businesspeople moved away from that and started...

Was improved during the previous administration. So good to drive that now a new generation of rest stops and restaurants are all the way from Gurabo to Gran Parada.

3 of my sons' cousins were prospects that couldn't get signed, but they were trained in different academies in Boca Chica (Dodgers, Marlins, Twins). All of the 3 got education and now working in other stuff in Punta Cana or San Pedro. It's all about family values: if they couldn't make it, at...

There's a fierce competition to become "the next logistics Hub" for the next 10 years in DR between Punta Cana, SDQ and Santiago. Santiago took notice and they started early to keep their place. After Punta Cana announced 2 years ago they'll build a massive free zone and logistics center...

Loads of differences. A good portion of Dominicans (not including myself on this) love the amount of sauce, condiments and additional ingredients to their "Espaguetis". - The red sauce (is the specialty in most of the DR houses) - Spaguetti and Tostones. An all day meal for most houses here...
