Hello!

My sweetie and I just moved to Arecibo from Baltimore. We've got a few lessons learned on the process of moving down from the US mainland to share if anyone is interested.

Currently we're trying to find local music venues. She's more into blues, soul, and r&b, and jazz. I'm more into punk.

Irenaeus,

Spent about 3 weeks in Arecibo 3 blocks from the malecon ...right around the corner from the W (Whisky) bar......What is the deal with the 50% abandoned buildings everywhere around "downtown"???

I guess Hurricanes Irma and the proximate Maria (9/2017)....chased all the " USA territorials" to mainland USA.

In either case, I think PR is a fine alternative for long term habitation ....

Would love to contact you when I arrive, within 5 weeks as I perform " the final countdown".

Look forward to any advice you have to offer.

Best regards,

Pete

@Peteelias

W is very close to where we are. The house we bought used to be an AirBnB.

I think the abandoned buildings are mostly a combination of younger generations leaving the city and unemployment. People go where the jobs are.

What kind of advice are you looking for?
