My nostalgia page

 

I remember from the 90s some places at Santo Domingo city where me and my friends used to hanging around and have fun, most of these have since disappeared:

If you were born in the 70s and live in Santo Domingo, you must visited more than 10 of these places. If not, probably you are dead and you still don't realize that.
