Deco
If "before" means, say, 2000, and "after" means now, then I vote for now. But if "before" means 1960, then I vote for 1960.
La Duarte was originally built up - post San Zenon - in the 1930s and 40s. It was a treasure trove of tropical deco. You could see a lot of this, though in dilapidated state, through the 1980s. It's almost all gone now, and I miss it.
I'm thrilled, though, with the restoration of Parque Enriquillo. It's condition had become a national shame.
