Heck, even though things are getting better, we're still missing a bit of everything in the area! Do you know how hard it is to find a decent pair of work pants and shoes without paying an arm and a leg? I'm waiting for my next trip to Santo Domingo to buy the stuff I'm missing because I haven't been able to find anything...
I personally think that a store with nice work (office) clothes of good quality at a reasonable price would do great in this area. Kids are also at a disadvantage because they've only got 2 or 3 expensive clothing stores. Most of my friends load up when they go to La Romana or Santo Domingo...
That said, keep in mind that when Jumbo finally is built and opens we'll at least have SOME more reasonble options (not first grade quality but not too shabby either). Food-wise, I feel sorry for all the small supermarkets that are opening up right now. Not exactly the best move!
