[QUOTE=Manizales911;2284512]The prices have changed very little since the High Caribbean days. Back then the exchange rate was 32-1 now it's 50.3 - 1 do the math. In many cases you are paying LESS now than you were back in the day.[/QUOTE]Prices haven't changed in real terms, but some would probably argue that the service is inferior now, thus, in fact, you are paying relatively the same for less. If that is true, then the cost has risen.
This oldie but goodie popped up in my feed. I had to laugh.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]You and me both. If this was 2008, I'd live there. Didn't need WhatsApp or social media because there were so many options on the ground. Here is another cute one: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqro3mmfsxo[/URL].
Who remembers Rumba Bar when it was crackin during the day and everything was open air? That Rumba/D'Latin era was epic. I got crazy memories of those spots.

Rumbas was very nice but it was the prelude to the night. The ladies who could stay out late or could not afford to go to Classicos would post there. You could pull some winners and often at a bargain price. In those days Classicos was the zenith of the nights. You would see more 10 s then you could count. My first visit to Classicos blew my mind. These days I prefer to score early and don't frequent the late night spots as much. Even though Rumbas is not what it was girls still hit the stroll around 3 pm everyday and the numbers on the weekend is still impressive.

DLatin was free, open air and bigger so NOBODY went to Clasicos.

But there was like a 3 year period where classico was closed. 2012-15 approximately. It was all about rumbas and dlatins! Good days! Back when winners circle was open air and the bartenders would dress really nice but dance like strippers! LMAO! Good times! Sometimes I would leave the beach early to see who was in rhumbas around 2 or 3 looking for a quick payday. I got a few stunners early for 1500 pesos! LOL. Good ole days! I still enjoy the sue though.

Merengue Bar was open and the crowd wasn't in there either. I was able to get good talent for $1000 pesos out of Rumbar Bar during the day.
Clasicos was open to the public except for the not so often private party like the one in the following video when the Bourbon Street / Anvhee folks first made a name for themselves with one of there excursions from the USA and a private party that brought people like JaVale McGee to Sosua.

Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Latino's? That was my spot. I guess not many here were going to Sosua back then.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2287342]Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Latino's? That was my spot.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2287342]Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Latino's? That was my spot. I guess not many here were going to Sosua back then.[/QUOTE]I concur. Horse shoe shaped bar. Willie was the manager and disco in the back. Yes it's where bourbon street is currently located. All the girls were available, Sosua had a lot of energy then as it had local spots, gringo spots and mixed spots. It was " go find your party ".
