Im sorry if this is in the wrong forum or has already been done, but Rocky's recent posting heading about Sosua Rumors made me think of so many rumors Ive heard about the DR...usually referring to tourism, investment or public works...here are a few that come to mind. What are some that you've heard? These may be true or totally unfounded, who knows...

They are going to build a "malecon" on SOsua beach and replace all the casitas with permanent buildings.

They are going to re-route the main highway in Cabarete to allow for better traffic flow.

They are going to turn the eastern portion of Sosua's Pedro Clisante into a "red light district" and remove all the "adult activity" from the other end (where it is now...mostly) and make Clisante a pedestrian mall.

They're going to require all moto-concho drivers to wear numbered vests and helmets...as well as their passengers!

When they repaved the highway through POP, they forgot to put in the sewer pipes, so they had to rip up everything they did and re-do it (they are definitely re-doing something!)

People like Brad Pitt, Beyonce, The Rock, The Clintons, Bill Gates, etc. are all building homes or projects in various areas of the DR.

Some long-standing rumors that were true:

The SD-Samana Highway
Re-doing the Malecon in POP
