I noticed the people here are very united and organized , the ladies wear nice elegant clothing and gentlemens are always trying to look handsome.

Ateo thank you for showing us pictures of an area I never visited and know little about but was aware existed. Other then a few empty beer bottles on the floor of the gutter by the scenic overlook of the moncion dam, in general it looks like a clean, well organized place and I value that.

Found great video about Moncion. check it out.

No prob.

You know, it's a shame some people don't even know why cities, provinces, towns, etc are named after.

A woman I used to buy food in NY was from Moncion............and she didn't know who Benito Moncion was........

And I am talking about a lady born there and who lived there for more than 50 years.

SAD!.

Been there many times

And what's your thoughts about the place and the people?.

You welcome guys, and I'm glad you enjoy them

Can you further elaborate on the picture above. From what I can interpret, the central figure or subject is obviously a Haitian national peddling pirate videos or music CD who is being confronted by Dominican law enforcement authorities. Is this a common occurrence in Moncion? Are they also having issues with illegals? Do they have it under control?
