Whenever I go to Isla Verde to buy fish for my folks, I try to make a "greasy stop" in one of Piñones stands (eyewink)...and I marvel at all the traffic on rt. 187...(during weekdays)...I think those who live (not only in Loiza) but in some of Canóvanas seaside barrios (which I don't know if these exist, for I think Canóvanas has no sea)....use it, instead of hws. 65 or 66. A greasy stop?.How i long for that greasy stop some days...LOL! I love los jueyes de alcappuria. Man, i think i can down about 5 or 6 of them in one shot....LOL! ========== Yeah....That makes sense. Rt 187 is quite congested. I'm sure the locals take it to avoid the stop lights of Rt 3 and the tolls of 66. I'm just referring to the sea and shacks and the swaying palms against the breeze of 187..LOL!. Don't forget, Jorge. I'm a New Yorker. The novelty aspect for the island and its "tipico" old school style will always be there for us mainlanders....LOL!

They will all be connected, period....LOL What do you mean by "pretty much"???? That at some point they may come apart???? Remember, always, of our island inferiority complex when it comes to anything mainland....LOL When and if you are being "toured" thru the highway complex...don't be shy about your "wows" and "ohhsss"...or next time you'll be doing your touring them by yourself....LOL

In fact, Piñones and the Eastern part of Puerto Rico, especially Loíza and Canóvanas (and Luquillo)...are among my favorite spots in the island because they remind me that we are still part of the Caribbean, no matter how much San Juan wants to look like Miami.

I love los jueyes de alcappuria. Man, i think i can down about 5 or 6 of them in one shot....LOL! I know, I know...remember you long for an alcapurria, much in the same way I long for a New York sidewalk pizza or a hot dog...(God, how I love them)....that's the first thing I wolf down in New York, and then..."de cabeza" in a deli... But, jueyes???(they are near extinct) so, I only have two ground beef ones (and once or twice a year...if I want to get to be my folks age).... Funny thing, I preserve our jueyes, so you can eat them....LOL Lord have mercy!

Your right about Canovanas having no sea(that I know of), but there is a river over by "la central" where if properly developed might make that area a better place than its current nickname, la Calle de los muertos. Is it just me, or is there a murder there in that area every weekend?!?

Sad...I know a lot of good, working people from La Central which were raised behind closed doors due to the "bad seeds" in that barrio. It's a tragedy to raise a kid without the benefit of discovering their surroundings (on their own).

But then again, as it happened with the Chicago of the 1920's and 30's (with all the murders and corruption); as it happened in the Los Angeles of the 30 and 40's...,in the New York City (up until Giuliani), in the Miami of the 80's and 90's....everything will pass in Puerto Rico...and it will move elsewhere...(sadly).

Lord have mercy! LOL! I ate Jueyes de Alcappuria when we were there in 09. Plenty. They could have been canned. Who knows?..LOL!.. I know there is a couple of jueyes farms in Puerto Rico. ========== A NY hotdog(with all the toppings) or a good slice of Pizza?.Yeah, they are the best. Did you ever try Katz's delicatresan in the lower East side? Next time you are up this way. Try it. You will love it. It is an old style deli. A vintage piece of old New York. Down to the pickles in barrels and pastrami sandiwches....LOL! The whole nine yards. A real experience. In fact, i think if you ever get a chance, one day. You sound like someone that really would enjoy historical architecture walking tours. NY has tons of them. You can meet intresting academic type people literally from all over the world who share the same intrests. The tours are cheap or even free sometimes. Just bring money for lunch.

Most definite...New York is to be taken (in a lifetime and maybe one needs around three or four)....because Manhattan is one thing, but then you have the other boroughs and their little neighborhoods (which were towns, way back when until New York swallowed them-like Williamsburg...). While going to college in Massachussetts, my professors would send me to NYC to do specific academic researches....(the fact that my college was on the western part of the state, it took only 4 hours to get to and fro...thru I-95).... Those were some of the best years...(I left that college crying when graduating).... Where did you go to college and what is your major.

Sadly, Katz's doesn't pile on the meat as they used to. Last time I was in NY (for last year's international auto show), we stopped by and I was disappointed. The prices were a lot higher too! They used to put a pile of meat on their sandwiches the size of my fist and now it's only half that much.

The rising price of food is making everybody tighten their belts. Restaurants included. Then it could be due to the reason that people now complain if the portions are too big. Mayor Bloomberg has been a real health advocate in several diffrent areas. Crazy, right?. Times have sure chnged... If portions are too big. Just take a doogie bag and make a second meal or give it to a homeless person.

I meant to say that the rising price of food has caused resturants to make some adjustments. Katz's probably figures "We already have our name. They are going to patronize our restaurant and pay for the food based strictly on our name. Why should we serve them more than we need to, they are going to come anyway"?...... Well, a lot of restaurants adopt that faulty line of reasoning. Many lose their old-timers ,too, because of it. I am not saying Katz has. Just an observation.
