Very true. Amazing how many of those stalled 2nd and 3rd story add ons have started up again. I checked out 4 yesterday. I doubt many would survive a good earthquake now with the flood weakened foundations and very little rebar. Some people are just stuck where they are so this years solution is...

Just a bit of an update after the floods at least in my area of Maranatha. I’m not a religious man but thank god this went down before the election. Since we have an 11 year old the Local politicians and others have been coming by daily now to follow up. New bed for the girl. New refrigerator...

Watching the amount of construction materials going into the upper parts of Maranatha and Sosua Abajo it will only get worse all around the island. This is happening everywhere. In the states I have lived on the same street for 60 years. It is a flat area just before the Boston line. We have a...

Been told that breakfast is mediocre at best. Santo says he works tuesday thru Sunday from noon till closing most weeks. He was the reason the little lady wanted to go. I guess a friend of a friend. She is a private cook for some Dominicans in Montello and two families in Cabarette. She is a...

Quick review. Food was excellent. Had the shrimp in cream sauce. Was expecting a small amount of linguine with it but not there. Menu could definitely use some tweaking for such a beautiful location. Definitely could use a few more appitizers on menu. Would have bought one if better selection...
