Shirley you can't be serious? I believe you when you say you're not familiar with Sosua.

We actually had upscale once. A place called Passions. Ok ok, upscale for Sosua. At least that's what I heard.
true. I was there twice to visit a guy from DR1 that no longer is a member. I know Diddley about that place other than what I read here. BTW it doesn't sound like I'm going anytime soon. Just add my post to the pile of the useless ideas for "the future of Sosua".

And now Sosuanews is reporting EL Chamo got pressured by high ranking politicians to not reveal big plans/announcement and that is why he mostly talked about murals, a Sosua sign at the entrance and getting the streets cleaned/installing street lights:).
It's actually a good excuse for Willy: I had big plans, but they won't let me!

On the other hand: Another direction might be making it a cleaned up version of prostitution like licensed houses in Nevada. Since it has a built -in rep for a sex destination, clean it up, lux accommodations and health certifications on the ladies. Up scale bars, restaurants, and shops. Sure, the pols want a piece. Let the best man win, the pol that gets it done. Is there a spot for a new golf course ? (I'm not familiar with Sosua). If Trump loses in Nov. ( I doubt it but) he might do this deal.🤷‍♂️
At one time the owner of Sea Horse Ranch had a plan to build a golf course across from that development. But he passed on before that even started.

As for the style and quantity of personal entertainment in Sosua, I am sure that will remain as lively a topic as ever, eventually.

Big plans not discussed 'cause they were too big? Funny stuff.

He went on a lot about the new mural paintings, which are supposed to make Sosua attractive for visitors, and about the cleanup of the streets he had initiated.

No, the murals won't bring in tourists however I do think that they look great.. Here are just a few.

Gutted how?
Do you need me to draw you a picture? Last year 2019,was a very bad year,with the bar closings,now in 2020 with CV 19,the city is being hit hard/gutted.Perhaps,you should walk the streets of sosua,lots of business closed,few tourists,even before CV19? Willy has his work to do,the big question will the new president let him do it?

I might be the only person that doesn't like them. I lean very "conservative" when it comes to paint on buildings.

Did they get permission to paint on other peoples buildings?

Ok, so you think willy is going to Make Sosua Great Again? Don't hold your breath. Willy will most likely follow the gov't's Master Plan, and that ain't Chicas. If he doesn't, I expect they'll straighten him out quickly.

And Ilana did not "gut" Sosua by her lonesome self. She was 100% on board, but she was not the Lone Ranger on that. Things change and evolve, it happens. Sometimes for the better.

No clue but since it was from what I've heard a Willy inspired idea I'm sure it wouldn't have been difficult for the new mayor to get permission.

It would be nice to hear from some of the community who actually reside in the area in regards to how life carried on through the shutdowns, exists now, and the environment of the town without all of the street types.

Sosua is again showing signs of life. I went to the beach, probably 35% of the places either open or preparing to open. No signs of life in the others. Sat on the beach, had a few cold ones and went in and enjoyed the nice therapeutic water. I then ate some schnitel at Wolfgangs sitting outside like a free man. Even had a few, less than gorgeous locals pass by and offer to give me a "tune up" (I passed).
Life is getting back to normal, let's hope it stays that way.
