I just finished reading through every response on this thread. No one who has BEEN there is reporting any problems in this thread. The situation currently isn't optimal, especially for everyone who works or worked at places that are currently closed. THEY are the ones who are really having problems now--paying the rent and putting food on the table. People who have BEEN there--and fairly often--are reporting that there are currently not any issues. There are signs about photography now and people who want to exercise their 'option' are invited to sit in one section of chairs. As JD said, soon after the hurricane, we heard that this place was "GONE" or this place was "GONE", when it just wasn't true. Even when the security was fully in place before the hurricane, things would happen from time to time. However, it seems from the reports of people who have BEEN there, that the situation is pretty calm and relatively trouble free. It will be nice when a couple of the big places toward Orient Village open back up, so there will be more places for people to go and more employment for local people. But in the meantime, the 'issues' seem to be very much overblown.
