<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this week\u2019s \u2018Memories of casa de Campo\u2019 post our wonderful weekly writer Carol Burke brings us photos and stories of down-town La Romana, which has now changed totally \u2013 many of the places Carol talks about have now disappeared altogether! For those of you who knew La Romana in the 1980\u2019s this is a real walk down memory lane!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.<\/em> \u2014 Philip Johnson<\/p>

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization<\/em>. \u2013 Frank Lloyd Wright<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

La Romana was on the main road to Casa de Campo.  It was only two miles from the Casa de Campo entrance to the Rio Dulce bridge at La Romana.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"01<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Crossing the River to La Romana
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every week I would drive to La Romana to shop at the Farmacia, the Ferreteria, H-M Grocery, and other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many interesting buildings and places in La Romana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The La Romana car wash was one of them.   One would leave the car for a wash and wax, and sit at a table under the bright orange canopy for a snack and a Presidente or soda pop until the car was clean.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"02<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Detailing and a Drink at the La Romana Car Wash
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember parallel parking on a La Romana street, near downtown, one afternoon.  People were staring at me and I didn\u2019t know why until I got out of the car and found that there was a six-foot-deep sink-hole in the pavement near the curb and I had missed going into it by just a few inches.  Whew!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"03<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Main Street Downtown
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was the building where the Dominican Watchman congregated.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"04<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Watchmen
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The houses in La Romana were built in many different styles and years.  Some were large substantial family homes made from stone and paneled with beautiful wood inside.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"05<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Lovely Stone House
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some were traditional houses with a big shady front porch.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"06<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shady Porch House
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the houses had privacy landscaping with hedges and trees,<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"07<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Privacy Landscaping in Garden
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

while other houses had an open-door design.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"08<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

House with Open-Door
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were beautiful homes with a contemporary design in concrete,<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"09<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Contemporary Design House
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and intriguing houses surrounded by tall stone walls.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

House with Tall Stone Walls
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and there were small houses made in the Dominican folk tradition decorated with children\u2019s writing and drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"11<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Small Blue Folk House
\n<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking around La Romana was an exciting experience.  There were mysterious places that seemed to be hidden away right near the center of town,<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"12<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Graffiti Wall with Sun Sculpture
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and other mysterious places right on the main street.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"13<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Bella Green Disco
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Romana was a town with many locations and destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was the Bucanero del Rey<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"14<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Bucanero del Rey
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the Caf\u00e9 Babilonia<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"15<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Caf\u00e9 Babilonia
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Romana may have seemed, at first glance, to be just a small town, but as I got to know La Romana better, I found a very complex urban environment that encompassed hundreds of years of history, and a wealth of interesting architecture and lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
