Rumor has it that the new Chiriquí Crematorium has opened. This is great news. When the old one closed, the costs for cremations doubled because it required the funeral homes to transport the body to Panama City.
While I don’t know the prices of the new crematorium, I know it will be cheaper.
Another post I have been delinquent on getting posted.
Kawi Trampoline Park & Coffee is in Chiriquí Center along with the BMW dealer, Renault dealer, July Sports, Verona Pizza and other businesses.
We stopped in one day, following a lunch at Verona’s Pizza, so I could take some photos. Lilliam said it would be a big hit with her grandson Lucca on his next visit.
If you have some kiddos that need to celebrate a birthday and add a little extra bounce in their day, why not give it a try.
If you stop in to Kawi, tell them you read about them on Chiriquí Chatter.
I intended to get this posted one haircut ago. I finally found where Yani had moved to and went to get my haircut done. The post fell in my to be posted file and here I am almost ready to get another haircut.
I need to get this posted or I won’t be able to show my face in the new shop.
Yani has moved to La Riviera Salon. The salon is run and owned by Victor Cecchin.
The salon is located in Plaza La Riviera which is on the road going to Las Olas. There has been several new businesses that have opened in that area including a large Romero’s supermarket and Cochez.
The salon is at the far end of the plaza.
I have been getting my haircut by Yani for over 10 years. I have never seen yani without a smile and always look forward to seeing her.
If you happen to be in the area of Plaza Riveria, drop in and tell Victor and Yani that you found them on Chiriquí Chatter.
When I was with Marion getting her driver’s license renewed, I saw that Chiriquí Mall is expanding. An addition, equal to the original, is being added to the side going to the frontera.
We are definitely being mauled malled. Where all the shoppers are going to come from for all the new locations is a question I have no answer for.

On December 2, Lilliam attended the inauguration of the new Elmec store in Design Plaza in David. I had mentioned talking to Lic. Elvis Samudio in November on one of Lillim and my morning walks.
Mr. Samudio followed up our morning conversation by sending me an invitation to attend the inauguration event.
You may wonder why I would want to attend an opening of a new building center. I guess you might say I like to stay “abreast” of what is going on in housing design, fixtures, flooring, lighting and well you know… Continue reading Elmec Inauguration In David
I don’t remember when Lilliam first told me about El Marquez Watch repair. The first time I wrote about it is HERE and it gives directions.
Today we had 5 watches to have batteries replaced and/or band lengths adjusted. I took a couple photos while we waited.
The first has Marques adjusting one of the watched. It also shows some Grand Father clocks he has serviced.
The second photo has several was clocks in various stages of repair.
I have had Marquez come to the house and service some of my wall clocks. He is capable and I trust him to do the work.
As always, if you see Marquez, tell him you heard of him on Chiriqui Chatter.
The Converse Store has opened. It kinda sneakered up on me.
On our morning walk, we went by the new Elmec store. Lilliam had told me it was open, but I wasn’t convinced, because it is not obvious from the outside.
As always, Lilliam was correct. Never argue with a TICA.
ELMEC opened in David in 2006 and the original post is HERE.
The new store is in the new mall on the old Boquete highway. Here is the Google Map.This is on the back side of Design Plaza.
A little over a year ago, Super 99 opened its new store across the InterAmerican Highway from Plaza Terronal.
As I look back on that post, I was not all that impressed. What a difference a year makes. Recently I have made several trips to the new Super 99.
There have been a couple things that Rey did that caused me to take another look at Super 99.
The first straw was when Rey removed several products, that I always purchased, to make room for their “Rey” branded products.
The second straw was the lack of ice cream choices in Rey. Not only choice limitation, but I have picked up more than one container that had been thawed and refrozen. Yuck.
So I decided to take a second look to see if my missing products happened to be in Super 99. Son of a gun. My latest walk-throughs have found a very nice store. The isles could be a hair wider, but there seems to be much more variety than in Rey.
If you like ice cream, Super 99 has more brands and favors than in any other store in David. Not only that, but they have Friendly’s Ice Cream. You may not know this brand, but when I lived in Virginia, one of my favorite outings was going to a Friendly’s Ice Cream store.
Three Hagen Daz pints will run you close to $18. One 1 1/2 quart container of Friendly’s will cost you around $5. To me, the Friendly’s is every bit as good. I have had “Banana Split”, “Maple Walnut”, “Vienna Mocha Chunk” and “Fruit Swirl”. My favorite is Maple Walnut.
The only complaint I have, and the thing that prevents me from shopping there more, is that I hate the aggravation of having to cross The InterAmerican Highway.
Who knows where I will be shopping in the future. RIBA Smith?
