I have heard from two different people today that the city are talking about closing down Rumba Bar and Willy's Latina Drink bar in Sosua in their move to get rid of prostitution in the down town core. Apparently there will be a demonstration tonight in front of the bars....things might get interesting and I can imagine, heated up.
While I understand and applaud why the city want to clean up the center they should be refraining to do this until other areas of Sosua are ready to accommodate the red light trade that Sosua has offered for so many years. How can the local government expect to resolve the issue of literally hundreds of girls without a source of income? Everybody has their opinions on prostitution, I for one do not have an issue with it, but those living in Sosua, whether you are pro or con, should certainly be concerned with hundreds of girls suddenly being without any income. Unless there are alternative locations for them to 'work' then we could see a large new crime wave.
There are places that could potentially do well, one being City Lights as it is large enough, but there is a lack of other large facilities. The old Hi Caribe disco at the end of Pedro Clisante could explode, Eddy's sports bar is another place I can think of.
I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.....
Anybody heard anything else on this?
