ARROCHA has opened and I made my first visit to see how it compared with the ARROCHA stores in Panama City. It was packed with people. Not many buying, but a lot looking. I guess the newness of having this high-end store in David brings out everyone.
I walked every aisle and the store is nicely [...]

I went to PriceSmart here in Panama City yesterday. This was my first opportunity to compare the one in David to the one in Panama City. I had thought that the one in Panama City might have more items, but from what I saw, the one in David had everything that is here in Panama [...]

My sources tell me that Furniture City is now open in Plaza El Terronal in David. I also understand that with all the construction, that there have been many electrical and telephone outages in the area close to the Plaza.

I have just returned from a short vacation and hope to be back in David soon. It is always good to return home. I am anxious to see the progress that has occurred in Plaza El Terronal. I wonder if any stores are open.
I am in Panama City and will take a day or two [...]
