Central Park gets a facelift
PUERTO PLATA, DOM. REP. 14 MAY 08— Construction fences came down in time for President Fernandez to cut the ribbon at Puerto Plata's newly renovated Central Square. The makeover is the first step of a project to renovate the city's historical zone. While some say the new look is barren, others insist that the new open plaza look is loyal to the square's origins.
