Last time I went shopping at Plaza Las Americas I noticed how the major chain stores are carbon copies of the ones in the mainland, not just the decoration but also the merchandise. Old Navy had nothing but fleeces and sweaters in December, which would’ve been fine except that in PR the temperature was in the high 80′s! So I’m guessing some poor Kmart manager at the PR store was forced to put a Kmart.com sign because the corporate decor guidelines manual said so.

Originally from Rincon, now living in NY, but soon going back for good after 46 yrs. We just builded a house in Calvache near the schools. I”m very familiar with everything that my beatiful Rincon has to offer. Also planin to do a lots of agriculture, my land is not that big but I think I could plant some bananas, papayas, gandule{we already have some planted} also beans and pumpkins,yams{both yellow and white}. Your paaya tree looks magnificent and soon to be picked, but wait until they are a bit yellow. As for the bananas you can cut them when they are green or regular cooking[must be nice and full} You can pick them when thy start to get yellow hang them in your porch with rope and you can start eating them as te get ripe. The best time is when they start getting some dark spot, but don’t let them stay to much on the sun.
I”ll be in touch when we get to Rincon and get together foe Presidente or a Medalla. By the way my nice Jenny owns a beauty parlor in front of the entrance to Coffressi hotel, so if you wife r you ever need a good hair treatment she is your girl. Just tell her that I send you and she might charge double, lol.
Enjoy your life in Rincon.
By the way your baby is gorgeous. Glod Bless

I myself am a Walmart shopper (regularly!) and I just tried an offer that I found online to get a giftcard. There were a few hoops to jump through but in the end I got a $500 gift card (took me about 1.5 hours). I’m a regular reader and saw you wrote about Walmart so I thought I’d share with you and you’re readers. Hopfully everyone else can have the same experience I did this holiday season!

Yeah, let’s keep those environmental activists freaks out of here, since they just want to keep the land beautiful and the sea clean…what a crazy idea for Puerto Rico!

I’d go into how Hawaii has a tremendous and very active cultural grounding…but somehow, I don’t think that would matter here. Not being a person for statehood, I’m happy just like it is…if those wacky environmental people can keep PR from being concreted over…it’s not taking statehood to ruin PR, it’s just taking greed.

Stefan thats simple what i mean about comment of Rincon multiply by 50 is that PR will be like a carbon copy of Hawaii.IN Hawaii now is only 9 percent of population the rest of it live in Vegas, Portland ,Seattle california. The case of PR most real estate will come expensive so the people that cant live in PR will live in these cities NYC,Boston Providence RI Chicago, Delaware ,O rlando and Philadelphia locations of puertoricans living in MainlandMost likely will loose their own traditions an example like cockfighting well be inundated by enviromental activist freaks. Will loose their own music own language withing 1 generation it will happen like Hawaii wilth the ALOHA spirit already lost. When people ask me about PR i tell them is like HONG KONG BEFORE 1997 the only difference is that HONG kONG NEVER FOUGHT FOR England in any war and Puerto Rico did sice WORLD WAY 1 TILL THIS PRESENT IN AFGHANISTAN for a President that cant vote

@REINALDO
That is a weak thing to say, but maybe I am just misunderstanding you. Why don’t you explain what you meant about Rincon x 50?

Maybe there is a Kmart Puerto Rico website. Or maybe the manager thought that Puerto Rico was closer to becoming the 51rst state.
