Another super humongous hole in the ground or are they just making the existing one bigger? Did they finally solve the litigation case this lot has been under for years now?

Maybe this is the wrong spot and unrelated to this post, but I see a new highway being built in SD as I enter from the North along 1 ( Duarte) I have heard there is a new by- pass on the north side from approximately the toll booth to the airport or maybe connecting as far as Villa Mella?

Probably the Haina to Boca Chica bypass.

That video identifies the location as Nu?ez C?ceres between Sarasota and Jos? Contreras. Jos? Contreras changes to Av Cayetano Germosen west of Av Italia.

There's a big hole in the ground at the southwest corner of Romulo Betancourt and Nu?ez Caceres.

Actually the movie theaters here in SD are really lovely. They are practically empty many times at the early shows. Very clean, many of them, big seats. Lots of them are small and all of them are freezing.

Perhaps it is not the DRs fault that the movies are so bad. Perhaps it is the fault of Hollywood.

I do check them out on Rotten Tomatoes before I go/ That may be a mistake. Who would have believed that a Johnny Depp would have gotten only a 17% positive from the critics on his latest flick?

But NovoCentro is great..

It is just funny to see that even if they have 10 theaters, they will only have 8 movies, just show two movie in two theaters.

Plus, of course, they do gear the movie choices to the population here and I am certainly an outlier. This I know and understand.

Yet, somehow, I would have thought the market in SD, at least was saturated.

It does not matter here if the market is saturated when you have money to launder.

I haven't been in a movie theater in the DR since I moved here 12 years and 4 days ago.

I don't remember the last time I went to the movies in the USA. It could be 25 or 30 years ago.

Nowadays with Netflix and cable I can't imagine paying to see a movie in a big room with people chatting with each other and talking on their phones. :classic:
