The future of Sosua

...I am certainly not waging or poking anything, including noses..but you know ...if the chicas are run out of town..they will just go some where else, and with them their clients.....Doc.....

Maybe Monti Cristi will be the New Sosua.

Exactly. Never underestimate the ability of the ladies to adapt to the times. The product they are selling and the equipment they need to sell it is very mobile.

They could call it "Spandex and Crocs"! I'll donate two tires.

I’ll bring the marshmallows and matches... man I always wanted Togo to tailgate party..

That would make it to easy for powers to be, look we cleaned it up all gone...

This has to be the best post in the whole thread.

I agree that prohibition never works. What is going on in Sosua is finally starting to be correctly recognized as relocation and not prohibition. As many have pointed out, the new red light district relocation is not a sure success.

If Sosua is successful in their actions over the next several months and many hookers are driven away, what town in the DR do you think will welcome them and their clients with open arms?

I've always thought Montellano might be willing, and not a bad spot logistically. They lost the sugar cane factory. There was talk of it coming back, but...

No beach, but entrepreneurs would quickly fill that gap with shuttles. There's even an Elvis down on the beach. Playa Cangrejo?

The old Home Run bar could have been ground zero.

They have a saying here in DR "Christo viene" (for those uninitiated, it means "Christ is coming")... !

There is now a new one, "Sosua is changing" ....I have a premonition these two may happen at the same time ....!? lol

Enjoy the Halloween (and Jazz Festival), all bars and clubs and restaurants are still in the same place, pretty full, and welcome you with open arms... (pun intended...!). They even brought in a huge inflatable witch for the occasion - in case you couldn't find one amongst the current chicas...!!!

And if/when they move and all change, I am sure you can easily find them again.

The attack on hookers in tourist areas was not limited to Sosua. There were locations closed in Boca Chica as well as the capital Calle Pastuer (spelling? ). This being the case I don't see the Gov endorsing a whole new town dedicated to prostitution. I think a lot of the girls have or will work their trade in the many "casitas" across the country and also use social media sites more and more.

Maybe someone should open a new "Empty Arms Hotel", for those of you who remember Hee Haw ?
I thing we have a few some of the 'lonely people' here in Sosua (in a lover's prison cell)

I’ll bet they all have a plan B. I see them in the bars and resorts in a Playa Dorada, on the Malecon in POP, in Costambar, etc. They will go to where the can make a dollar and keep a lower profile. The police presence along Pedro Clisante will be reduced because they will lose a major source of bribes if the ladies leave.

I’m in! I can bring my guitar, maybe Windy can back me up. We can belt out a few Union songs and end with a rousing rendition of We shall overc*m.

Being a keyboard player, it is tough to have a spontaneous gig.

Nice suggestion, but I don’t see the people of Montellano welcoming that business model with open arms. There actually is a pretty vibrant nightlife there already in the center of town around the “Parque Triangulu Montellano” right off the main street (Calle Principal). It’s overwhelmingly locals, but I have noticed a few other “gringos” there lately.

As you stated, the old “Home Run” disco right on the main highway might work, but I think it’s a ferraterria now? There were also a few other bars/car washes/cantinas right there many years ago. It used to be a nice place to go dancing, but everything’s closed now.

Someone said in an earlier post something along the lines of “if they relocate the chicas to another town, their clients will just follow them there.” I disagree. IMO, if the working girls are all channeled elsewhere, the tourists who come here for the chicas wont necessarily follow them. They might just go to similar venues in other countries that are already “established”.

Where? The proximity to the USA and the exchange rate is what drives that lifestyle. And yes the "Mongers" will follow. The people of the Dominican Republic are the only ones that can affect change. And guess what? DO you see any of them lining up to do so? This thread can go on till Jesus returns and until then nothing will change. Keep hope alive.....LOL
