what is up with the luz in colonial zone lately...3 days,3 blackouts up to 15 hours,even today with decent weather,off for 5 hours tonight...tough on hotels and restaurants,as well as shops on el conde...this is the heart of this city,and the area with great restaurants,...tourists are amazed,and know why this is a 3rd world country..cant wait for metro to loose power with a full house of dominicans underground for 5 hours......office on Independencia blames it all on rain...but pay your bill....
what a country

The power is always going off in El Conde. They have been upgrading cables in the colonial zone for months.

Oh really? I wasn't aware of that...
I haven't been there for quite some time...but last I was there, it seemed there was never any power problems...
I was under the impression that that is one area that doesn't loose power...(and if so, much less often than anywhere else)
