Every year we said we'd check it out, now it's too late! As my brother-in-law would say, "And there it was.....gone!"

One can only wonder, although a "parking lot" is mentioned (for whatever that is worth) in the article.

The whole thing doesn't make any sense. They were evicted by the owners of the land and then they weren't? They moved back, and then they moved onto government land on Saturday? I thought they moved back in the same place when they reopened? Why were they allowed to come back, if they had been evicted? Confusing.

Pat--respectfully, I really don't think music blaring until 3 am is 'part of island life', and that was the only thing that anyone here complained about.

Carol, I know noise issues are a real thorn in the sides of many and not trying to get into an argument with anyone..... The solution to this island wide would be for the island fathers to enact and then enforce a noise ordinance. I don't pretend to know all the details and at this point, I really don't care to. But knowing they've been on Kim-Sha Beach forever, seeing them put out of business this way stinks, IMHO. I'm done. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I will definitely agree with you there. There should be a noise ordinance which is enforced, for sure. The whole situation was extremely confusing and it is a shame that a long time island business was closed down, yes.

What doesn't make sense to me is after they were supposedly evicted, they moved back. I think there is a lot more to the story, yes.

Perhaps the land owner is an absentee owner and La bamba felt they wouldn't know until someone informed them so they tried to get just a little more out of it. Probably why they squatted on government owned land, no respect for anyone. This lack of respect showed in the loud music that bothered residents.

I agree, they were definitely in the wrong here. They no longer had a lease and just moved over to government owned land illegally. This to me is just cause for eviction and I can't see why some people think it is not. I also find it very frustrating that some people complain when the government takes appropriate action and the same people complain when the government takes no action! LA Bamba needs to find another location and acquire the proper permits to operate their business in a legal manner. Perhaps other businesses will learn from this and realize that operating legally is very important!

irina said: It amazes me to read all these posts that are just idle and cheap speculation. He who lives in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones. What do you guys know about what happened? Nothing! I can tell you that you know absolutely nothing about what happened nor do you have any idea who the players are. I think Carol should shut this thread down. It's disgusting. You are talking about a real person with a real family who lives on island for decades! Stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! irina Its not speculation that they were operating without a valid permit and failed to get the necessary permission from the Government to use the property. Not sure why your reacting to the prior poster the way you are as facts are facts.

Sorry but you are totally out of line here. The facts stated were published in the newspaper and if they are not correct, then you need to take your problems up with them.These people may have lived on the island for decades, but that does not excuse them from following the rules.

Have you addressed your concerns with The Daily Herald? It seems to me most here are only reacting to what has been reported in the local SXM newspaper. There has been a couple of personal opinions but MOST are a reaction to what is perceived as a legitimate local news source.
Elizabeth, you took the words away from me as I was typing this as you were responding.

OK, the Daily Herald doesn't always get their facts correct, that is for sure. Many other newspapers do not either.. That was part of the reason why I responded as I did--I don't understand why, if they were evicted, why they would move back? Which I intended to mean that I didn't know if the DH got their facts correct. That doesn't make sense to me, why someone would bother to do that, if they had been evicted, as it's not like they would get away with it for very long. Makes no sense.

OK, well, at this point I think it would be better to close this one. Again, for the most part, what has been commented on here is what was reported in the DH. Which, if they got their facts incorrect, they are rssponsible for that. Regardless, will close this one and if there are further developments, someone can post a new thread.
