Joshua R...
You are confusing San Pedro de Macoris with San Francisco de Macoris. They aren't even in the same part of the country. Their only link is the "de Macoris" sobriquet due to having been ruled by the same taino cacique (Macorix) when the Spaniards arrived. San Pedro is known for its baseball players. San Francisco, sadly, is known for its drug dealers turned millionnaires. (Yes, I know...some of you will take offense...but I'm francomacorisano...and trust and believe...my family made a fortune dealing drugs in Washington Heights. And I know plenty others...LOL!)
