Only Puerto Plata. There's a "black hole" from Montellano to Nagua on the delivery service. Loads of entrepreneurs tried for years to push their systems into Sosua and Cabarete on delivery services, yet everyone has failed. So far, Komida has been consistent over the last two years, but not with...

Haha, the old day of "Green cars" and "Yellow cars", lol A mess!

Appreciate the detail. Thanks! I call the buildings skyscrapers instead of highrises. But appreciate the correction! (y)

This was the residence he lived until his death in 2004. The family sold the lot and today is a skyscraper. https://cotuialdesnudo.blogspot.com/2007/08/se-vende-casa-de-jacinto-peynado.html?m=1 The property you mention is owned by Pepin Corripio and its family.

Update #3 Last night and early morning in La Vega, half of the city collapsed due to the Camu river in La Vega and creeks expanded. 2 bridges collapsed in downtown La Vegaand another just collapsed

Update #2 Zona Colonial in Santo Domingo just collapsed of the high rains this afternoon

Another flash flooding in POP area now (Camu river, Gran Parada). The DR25 blocked and many areas now flooded with this afternoon rains. DR25 (Gurabo-Gran Parada) blocked at the Camu river bridge. River took control and flooded the whole area.

It's the whole sector in general. Just taking The Big 3 in the North-South corridor in DR: - Metro downgraded their service and buses times between Cibao and SDQ. - Espinal (who made Espinal Platinum as a separate premium service and it was the jewel of the crown for Espinal) also downgraded...
