Well Long Beach fans-it's all over

Blacksultan,
This doesn't have anything to do with the new initiative. Puerto Plata has been targeted for major improvements since the presidents last term in power.
But now they are shifting into high gear. There is a ton of public works projects going on in PP.
It's about time.
And for what it's worth, not many will miss these places. Truth is, a lot more new businesses will pop up to serve the masses that this upgrade is going to draw..
The PP long beach used to be a very popular beach many years ago, and I think this will attract hugh crowds once everything is done.

They're pumping in sand like crazy around there.
Looks like they're really serious about this project.

Went by this morning and all looked calm, other than the folks still clearing out their goods from the remaining buildings, due to be leveled tomorrow.

I havnt comented on this on this board or DR1 - but places like long beach and the shanty town in Sousa are part of the charm for me of the DR. Right now not enough has been done to stop me coming there yet but if things keep changing at this rate January could be my last trip.

I hope it doesnt change too much more in the next 6 months.

Well it is Friday evening and crews from all tradscrafts are working rapidly to finish the area for Leonel's visit tomorrow. They finished artifically creating about 100 feet of new beach. I guess this is suppose to represent the new beach. I think he is going to be pi**sed off that the beach is not finished. Suppose to show up with 20-30 President's of major tour companies. Also setting up stage for for Frank Reyes concert during the beach ceremony 3 pm (Dominican time) Unfortunately it is right under my balcony. I wonder if they will drive him to the ceremony from the Long Beach side-so he can see all of the business/homes destroyed. At the bottom of the sign (small print) NO CAPT MORGAN BOTTLES ARE TO BE LEFT ON THE BEACH.,
