SAN PEDRO DE MACORIS REACHED ITS PEAK DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS CENTURY, WHEN ITS SUGAR PRODUCTION ENJOYED HIGH PRICES ON THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET AS A RESULT OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. MANY EUROPEANS SETTLED HERE, MAKING IT A VERY COSMOPOLITIAN URBAN CENTER. PAN AMERICAN FLEW ITS SEAPLANES IN REGULARLY (EASTERN MACORIS HAS PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE FIRST DOMINICAN CITY TO RECEIVE SEAPLANES, IN ITS HIGUAMO RIVER), AT A TIME WHEN THIS PORT ENJOYED MORE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY THAN THE CAPITAL CITY OF SANTO DOMINGO.

At the risk of insulting your musical taste DK, that is noise, pure unadulterated noise, the video might be worth watching if you played music, not gunshots "popping off" and some gangsta rapping.
As a musician, I am usually more tolerant of other folks' musical taste, but that my young friend is NOT music!
Thanks for sharing your video, perhaps play a nice Bachata or Merengue Tipico so it does not hurt anyone else's ears! Even Wisin & Yandell would have been an uptick bro.
Stuff Is From Wikipedia.com Sorry .....u Guys Are The Best Critics !!!!
Giving credit to wikipedia is nice.......but not necessary.
The information you copied was not used for any commercial, academic, competitive or advertisement purposes. It was posted on Youtube and DR1 (free public websites) which are not owned by you nor is the posting for a commercial purpose or content. If you were to be the owner of Youtube or DR1, then it would have been different.
And you never claimed that you originally wrote it.
stop acting like a wuss . There is no need for anyone to try to show you up on this issue.
The way a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.....
DB is our resident link expert and doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
He just provides info.

"Civilization" entered the DR through this city (IMO).
On Sports: A major league baseball player never mentioned is Pedro González. Actually, he was from Ingenio Angelina (few kilometers from San Pedro) where I grew up. He lived across the street from us.
