I guess I need to post a final notice that The Republic of Texas Cafe has closed. This has to be the shortest restaurant life I have seen since I have lived in Panama.
I consider the whole thing pretty stupid. Any non-Panamanian that opens a restaurant and thinks he can do it ignoring the law [...]

I went by Janie’s yesterday to get my ears lowered and once again the store was locked. When I called the phone number on the door, it wasn’t answered. This is the second time. Remembering the barbershop I had seen next to the Sastraria Union, I went there. Unfortunately for Yanie, I got a better [...]

I had to go to the airport today and it has been a while since I was there last. The car rental building has made a lot of progress and it doesn’t look that far away from opening.

It appears that a new restaurant is already planning on closing. What the actual reasons for closing are, I am not sure. However the thing that may have forced the issue revolves around the Jubilado discount and including a tip on a table of 6 or more customers on the bill. Maybe this is worth [...]

I skipped breakfast this morning and about 10:30 I was hungry. I was driving by Shulas Steak House and decided just to grab a burger. My last time there called for another visit and a burger seemed fairly risk free.
The burger that came out was typical for most Panamanian burgers. It was hand pressed and [...]

While I was at PriceSmart this afternoon, I bumped into Dino Barkema. If you don’t know Dino, you should at least have heard of his photo website. On this site you will find photos dating back to the early 60’s in Panama. Dino’s site has over 3,000 photos. Check it out.
