Boca Chica.. my favorite hang outs were La Cueva and Route 66. Yes Route 66 (not Route 69) when the red petrol pump was still in front and Duarte was a still a dirt road.

I still have a Route 66 sticker here somewhere from when they first opened.

Ronnie! But IIRC he died here in the DR. Memory is a little faded on that one. I can't remember the ex navy chief's name either.

Development where, in Boca Chica? The whole place looks like after a nuclear war, everything is abandoned, rotten and falling apart. 20 years ago it was a funky place, very alive, you could walk the main street and see how black American midget is picking up a one legged 8 months pregnant prostitute, and things like that. Now it's totally dead and abandoned, what development? Two new condo buildings during 20 years and a third one still unfinished?
Glenn, or whatever your name is, this is hilarious. And on point.

I just got back from the DR and spent 1 night in BC before my flight home as usual. It actually seemed a bit cleaner than last year when I was there. One thing I noticed is the perceived explosion of Italians there now, seemed like they were everywhere. Like a DR version of little Italy. not sure how long I could stay there but I have always enjoyed one or two days of people watching on Duarte. And yes, power was out for about 1/3 of my time there.
