    No offense....but this was reported on the board a while ago and talked to death.

    The girls moved on. Some showed up in Sosua. I have not been in SDQ since summer, but I bet many are working out of the after After Hours club, around the corner from there.

    But all that is is the paid area of the board.

    Thanks.

    Venezia might still be closed or if does reopen, probably will have a different owner.

    Why? Did they send Danny back to Cuba? I still LOL about them shuffling those Chicas back and forth between Venezia and La Parada on a moments notice several times a week. Life was much simpler when Lapsus was around.

    La Parada was the first casa I visited over ten years ago. Was staying at the Jaragua Hotel and Casino, tower section room (first over night stay in Santo Domingo). Walked out the back of the Jaragua onto Independencia, street guy there then showed us La Parada. Walked in, about 10 friendly attractive chicas did the line up in front of me and a friend. Chose two, they sat down with us and were nice. We were the only guys in the place. Inside the ceiling was wood color, vaulted wood ceilings (later on they were painted white). It was a nice venue. Also visited Lapsus more than ten years ago, even closer to the rear entrance for the Jaragua Hotel and Casino. Watched a show inside there. Those days bars could stay open all night, I remember walking out of some small bar on the malecon and walking back to the Jaragua Hotel and Casino at around 7AM.

    I don't know the owner of Venezia. I visited twice for less than 5 minutes. Venezia was a bit of a nuisance. Lapsus building was bulldozed to make way for some new development.

    La Parada casa was just up the block from La Parada Restaurant.

    I was there last Thursday night, January 16th, and all of the clubs were open. However, I think Venecia changed it's name.

    La Parada casa was just up the block from La Parada Restaurant.
    Venezia opened as a Chica casa when Lapsus closed, same "owner", same Chicas but the manager went to 305. There was a Cuban family that owned Lapsus and apparently there was a split and the Uncle and Cousin opened 305 and Danny had Lapsus until they closed and moved their venue around the corner to make way for developers. La Parada had been closed for some time but some way, some how there were certain nights when Venezia was closed but the guys hanging out in front steered us to La Parada which happened to be open for the 1st time in over a year and the entire Lapsus/ Venezia crew was in there. This happened a few times for over a year.

    It's funny. There are politicians and money Guys with all these great big ideas about development and apparently the money to see it through and they're disrupting the ebb and flow in pursuit of their big tourism dreams but I just don't see it happening and eventually all the money will dry up and all these big projects will turn into piles of rubble. It seems to be the Dominican way. Businesses come and go from trip to trip (La Base, Eagle Sports Bar, Lapsus, La Parada, Jazzy's, etc..etc..etc...


    BTW...those tetas look familiar

    Two new subway lines opened in the last ten years (completed and running). New highway to Samana completed. Boulevard Turistico in Samana opened and completed. Coral highway and new roads in punta cana and bavaro completed. How many new hotels and residences completed in the last ten years? How many new hotels and residences will open in the next ten years?

    DR is changing whether you believe it or not.

    Businesses come and go in every country. Crazy Eddies, Abraham and Strauss, Alexanders, Enron, Edsel, Continental, TWA, Pan Am, Oldsmobile, are some businesses that are no longer around in the United States. Tesla, Amazon, jetBlue are fairly new business in the U.S.

    La Base Bar changed their name to Andy Bar and were open the last time I was in DR.

    You can't argue with logic like that.

    DR is changing whether you believe it or not.
    Oh I have no doubt that the D.R. is changing. The question is will it change for the better and I believe not. All those "improvements" you've mentioned have come from two sources: IMF loans and Drug Money laundering and neither will have any long term benefit for the economy.

    As long as the public schools keep pushing out waves of young adults who are functionally illiterate with no discernible job skills there will continue to be crime, corruption and all the other symptoms of a society to which the only laws applicable are the laws of entropy. What good is a built up tourism industry if the tourists are afraid to come as the vacation horror stories mount. I will never forget the couple that I met from Indiana or Ohio or somewhere in the Midwest on my 1st trip who detailed their experience of being stopped by police as they were riding on the highway en route from Santiago and robbed at gunpoint, surrendering their cash but salvaging their credit cards through a hystrionic display of courage by a middle aged Presbyterian White Lady who swore for the 1st time in her life in reaction to her fist look down the barrel of a gun.

    For all the new construction, the malls and restaurants that very few Dominicans can afford and the hotels which were built in the hopes that "they will come...." the Dominican Republic remains the place where stealing and lying are socially acceptable behaviors, even job skills in the tourism sector and the lives, love and labors of the majority are as cheap as dust. In response, that majority despoils the land, steals their electricity and presses its Daughters to turn their asses into a source of income in the midst of the squalor from whence they came, preparing them by urging them to flaunt their asses at the age of 15, accepting mass unwed teen pregnancy as a natural fact of life and throwing their garbage into the street as a method of cleaning their cars. After all car washes are for shooting pool, drinking beer and getting blowjobs.

    Now that the IMF and the world bank are directing the country's economic policy and the DEA is bottlenecking the drugs which once flowed through the D.R. unfettered while they concentrated on the larger problems in Colombia and Mexico the increase in drug use by Dominicans youth is compounding their social ills and what we've seen happen as Mexico's internal drug trade bloomed into a full on civil war is a look into the future of the once lovely island of Hispaniola. Add to that equation thousands of deportees whose only skills were honed in the drug trade, cat houses and prisons of the USA and other developed nations and I believe that we may be looking at a perfect storm which will blow at full force as soon as the banks come into compliance with the accountability stipulations attached to all that IMF money that funded those wonderful projects which you mentioned and which add zero revenue, instead require budgets going forward for operation and maintenance from an internal economy which is sitting and waiting with baited breath for a crush of tourists who will never arrive.

    A dollar invested in the Dominican Republic is two dollars lost.

    The problem with that logic is that it compares US businesses which were profitable for decades, 40, 50 years or more (with the exception of Enron and Edsel isn't a company, it was a model and Ford, its manufacturer is still very much in business, BTW. Same goes for your Oldsmobile/GM example) against Dominican businesses which have lasted less than a decade because they exist in a throwaway society.

    In most of the Caribbean it is perfectly safe to drink tap water and the rivers don't flood the sea with garbage every time it rains.

    It would be great if applied to the argument at hand but it doesn't. It's the sound that you hear after the Kool-Aid pitcher is empty.

    Do you remember the Group dance show they used to put on at Lapsus ? Chicas would be dressed in those Cheezy but fun Nurses or Fireman outfits. and then you pick one to come to your table after the group is finished and she would give you the Lapdance of a lifetime, then you could do take out .... God, I miss that place... the waiter was a crooked little fucker but they always would treat you like VIP in there.
    Im guessing you probably had a chance to hit Remington Palace also back then ?

    That Pool shot of the Jaragua.. Nice.. It was a bitch sneaking the girls in though at the Jaragua, the towers were almost impossible, the Garden units in the back not so bad. Hit or miss .
    The Melia was damn near impossible though..
    What time of year did you usually go ? Hope you hit the Merangue Festivals at end of July, that was the shit back then...
