I've had the opportunity to see the "Hooters" emblem on the big electronic bill board at the corner of Lincoln and 27.. But every time, I've been too far away to see what it says.

I'm assuming a Hooters is coming soon to Santo Domingo.. Anybody here know what's up?

And for the rest of us living in Santo Domingo, "Outback" has reopened it's doors, albeit they don't open until 5 pm.. Why they're avoiding the lunch crowd, I'll never know.

Everyplace else at 12-3 is packed everyday.

well, another sign of PROGRESS, as some will have us believe. is Barnes and Noble, or BDalton books on its way, too?

If only someone out there would hear you on this dread. Believe me, you're not the only mortified at having to buy online any single interesting book out there instead of having the comfort of buying it on the library near you.

One more sign of "progress" this will sure improve the "infastructure" in DR. LOL

Dreads facetious remark brings us to a juncture in the accessing of literature in todays world I doubt Barnes and Noble and other like businesses will be opening many more Brick and Mortar locations anywhere in the future with the advent of Kindle . The physical books will become quaint memories of the past
Best-selling author Dan Brown's latest novel, "The Lost Symbol," is apparently selling better on the Kindle than in hardcover on Amazon.com.

In Amazon's overall sales listing, Brown's book is listed as the best-selling title on the site. But that listing includes both the book's hardcover version and the Kindle version.

On Amazon's Mystery and Thrillers page, the two versions are independently listed. At the top of that list is the Kindle version for $9.99. In the No. 2 slot is the hardcover version offered for $16.17. That list is updated hourly.

Blog site The Kindle Nation noticed the phenomenon early Wednesday morning.

As of late morning, the Kindle version is still atop the list. That said, it's important to note that this is one store. The hardcover version is still tops at rival Barnes and Noble, which also sells a digital version.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment and exact sales figures.

The possibility that the Kindle version of "The Lost Symbol"--which follows Brown's wildly popular "Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons"--is outselling hard copies on Amazon could be a monumental moment in the e-book industry. Prior to the release of the book, its publisher, Random House, was mulling the possibility of not even releasing a Kindle version. Eventually, the company relented.

JAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJ

NO NO this is a jajajajajaja.....

A woman went into a department store and told the clerk that she
wanted to return a toaster for refund because it didn't work.
The clerk told her that he couldn't give her a refund because she
bought it on special.

All of a sudden the woman threw her arms up and yelled, "Grab my
hooters! Grab my hooters!"

The clerk didn't know what to do, so he called the store manager
who asked her if he can help.

She explained that she wanted to return the nonworking toaster
for refund, and he told her that he would not give her a refund
because she bought the toaster on special.

Once again she yelled, "Grab my Hooters! Grab my Hooters!"

The manager was taken aback and asked her why she was yelling
that particular phrase.

She replied, "Because I like my Hooters grabbed when I'm getting
screwed!"

~SIGH~ You guys sure do live in your own little world............... LOL

actually, Enrico, the remark was not intended to be facetious, and i am a little astonished that you find it to be. to some, the internet will never replace the bookstore. those people are called "collectors". besides, i rather buy the thing than have to pay a fortune to download it, then print it. when i go away on a retreat to get away from the tribulations of modern society, i would like a few books to accompany me. my remark was directed to those who see the stalwart institutions of american society as the only indicators that we are getting ahead. without Starbucks, we are stone age.

there will be fewer and fewer book stores as kindle becomes more the mode You will be able to carry every book ever published under your arm and the actual books will be used for decoration in old homes Books as we know them will soon be a thing of the past and book stores will be for interior decorators http://books.google.com/ is the wave of the future But hold on to those first editions of Dickens and Mark Twain
