Rockys Blues Bar In his own words, this pathetic scrawny "hide behind a keyboard or anyone else he can find" wants people to believe he is the re incarnation of Bufford *****r, what a freaking joke this Marco isThis was taken from a diatribe of his own words, my clipboard could not or would not hold all the garbage he postedFrom "Rocky *****r"It has nothing whatsoever to do with competing restaurants. When I did learn in 2002, it was he who showed me DR1, and although I registered with his help, I didn't post in there for almost a year, upon seeing all the infighting and cursing and attacking going on in there. I would like to think that I have one of the very best reputations in this town, as a person who is willing to help anyone, be it for general advice, or to assist them when they get in trouble, as many do.For this, I have earned the title of Barney Fife from Scott and his gang. They say I am the self appointed sherrif in this town, which is somewhat ridiculous, although it does have a certain ring of truth, in that I do battle crime, help folks protect themselves, both tourists and newbies, and have taken a strong stance in helping to eradicate the crack dealers in the neighbourhood.It's a tough role at times, as I can get called at the most inconvenient times, to come and rescue those who are in bad predicaments.I lack the time and energy for all of this, and would be quite content to go about my life in peace, enjoying what I have, and assisting where I can, but they keep on trying to draw me into their battlesFor any outsiders, Rocky or in reality, Marco is the biggest whining whimpering person you will ever meet. Once I ate at his poor imitation of a greasy spoon, dirty, animals all over, bartender was dirty..just an air of filth and dirt everywhere, that is Rocky's Blues Bar! He "invited" me to sit and have a drink, then left me with the bill in his own dump, maybe because I was the only customer?

Re: Rockys Blues Bar For readers of the ANTISNOTT blog:Whenever someone points out the obvious about `Marcos` assistance to Scott, you accuse them of whining. Doesn't that get a bit tired, friend? So your rules are its OK to talk your shyt about Dawnwil, and Rellosk because they aid Scotty, but not to point out that Marco on Scotts behalf did much worse than they ever have. Props. That certainly gives you the moral high ground in alerting people to da Snott, `mon`. Scotty don`t exist in a vacuum. He was made what he is by the help and active support of people like Dawny, Rellosk, Rob and Marco. I don't see them apologising anywhere for their part in creating this monster. So, `mon`, if you want to shield Marco from reaping what he has sewn on Snotty's behalf while attacking the others then you're as bad as he is.I despise the snothead. But I won't forget those who have made him possible. No one would even be mentioning `Marco` except that you're allowing him to shovel his `I`m so innocent` bullcrap through your site. Like Rellosk, play with da shyt, you get covered in shyt. And people notice and remember.

Re: Rockys Blues Bar OK DRScotty, we just want to know you are someone and not a person using another name to cause trouble. It is not possible to be sure, but we are trying to be fairWe don't know the background deep like most of you, what are you saying in your posts? I can not understand if you do not like Scott, I think the other Scott, that you like Rocky, to many people and to much confusion, that is why we wanted this board so you could all express your opinions and we didn't have to fight on the blog. Maybe we can get our blog back to what we wanted and as soon as people here say who they are this board can go on without us doing much?It is still very sad what happened to our little parody of DR board posters, some people did not like the way we saw them, and that was al it was, I don't think we were very mean, nothing like this and they think we hate them?

Re: Rockys Blues Bar Poor Rocky, the innocent injured attacked bar owner."Maybe when Esnott pays you "Rocky" you can give Ewald a call and pay him back for the thousands you owe him for rent in your previous locattion and for the damage you caused trashing tolkiets and sinks in the place as you left? Too bad Ewald isn't as prolific at the computer as your innocent self is claiming to be the injured party from Scott when you were in bed with him banning folks from your restaurantr, calling Richard (sisua grouo) a pedophile and XR (DRSol) a wife beater, and Tay (property center) a crook and on and on. Yes, poor Rocky. He aided and abetted Scott, sent attack emails to all the decent people in Sosua, even Ginnie and Grahame who would not be caught DEAD in your company or in your sleazy restaurant where you abuse your employees )do you still tellpeople the story of having to run out of town at high speed in your car as police and angry former employees stripped you bat to make up for money you has npt paid them - TWIVE at TWO different businesses?) You are every bit the bads apple that Scott and Wales are and your attempts at playing the injured one make people who know how you have screwed innocent Dominicans and people who ahve tried to help you sick. I would keep a low profile if I were you before people start posting e-mails you have sent in your own name to others. I would be worried that the next time maybe TomD's modelling clay with LED's on your tire may be something a bit more dangerous - considering the vast number of residents you have screwed in your name and in the name of frienshiup with Snott."

Theres' nothing wrong with PJs. If you don't like it don't go there, but your criticisms are unfounded. I ate there every day for more than 2 weeks during my first stay in Sosua and there was nothing wrong with the food. And every time I am in Sosua I eat there. I understand that once guys get on a particular topic theres' that bandwagon effect, but for any newbie reading this it is a good place to eat. Try for yourself and decide. As a restaurant owner myself, I would prefer to not be involved in this conversation, Berzin, but in all fairness to Tamborista, what he said was not unfounded, at least it wasn't in the past.As you attest to having eaten there frequently and enjoyed the food, no doubt it has improved and we are all glad to hear that, as the late nighters need a place to snack, and PJ's is open 24 hours, at least during normal times.I suppose they have to close now with the new laws, just like everybody else.There have been restaurants in the past that had bad reps, with regards to people getting ill, that are now some of the finest restaurants in town.Hopefully this is the case with PJ's. The owner's a nice guy and we did a lot of business with him when he was supplying wholesale beverages from his market in Charamicos.To come back to the beginning.Tamborista's assessment may no longer be valid, but it was at one time, so he does not deserve being attacked for trying to do the right thing.Regards, Marco

Re: Rockys Blues Bar "Marc Beland has one of the worst reputations in Sosua. Anyone who has lived there more than two or three years knows never to trust him. He believes in use them, abuse them then screw them. Ewald and Frieda braun trusted him and it cost them thousands of dollars. they tried to work with him when he fell thousands of dollars behind in mortgage payments. He said **** you, you can sue me if you want but I haven't got anything I'moving out then trashed the place and moved out. He was closed down at the new Rocky's in April 2003when an ex -employee from his fruit and vegetable days tried to collect her liquidation. He is right he doesn't have anything he leases most everything. Askyourself why none of the longterm ex-pats patronize the place? He doesn't have a friend in Sosua, his reputation is dirt!"- AnonymousSo this doesn't disappear, and I am sure I will be attacked for having stood up for it, I have asked these same questions directly from thos involved and received exactly the same answers as much as three years ago which is why none of my money is ever spent in Marc Beland's reataurant anymore, for which I have been treated to e-mails as posted above by others. The information was confirmed directly to me by several other business owners in Sosua, by Ewald, and his late wife, and large parts also by Marc himself directly to me in conversation, including a trip fleeing town when the employees arrived with police to receive their unpaid salaries to Samana with a stop in Cabarete to visit his doctor for extra valium to calm his nerves. Not my words, but Marc's.I have no need to trash anyone, but I refuse to support in any fashion, be it with my money, or my recommendsations, or my silence, anyone who treats people in the country in which he is a guest in this manner, especially having a Dominican wife and family, and employing at least half a dozen Dominicans whom I think of as more as family for many years. This is shameful behavior, and for those asking here what the issue is, just re-read that post.Most locals won't go there because of this behavior toward people in the country we love, and because we know too well that pointing it out leads to savage attacks both publicly and behind our backs in e-mails.Unfortunately, that's sort of my job. But despite these attacks and personal insults by this person, I have never done more than to stick to the facts involved, and theyare exactly as stated by this person above.Vlad, I understand you ask for confirmation of people's identity. I hope you leave what the other said as I can vouch for it, and in fact am posting this at peril of being run down for having done so, simply for attesting to its veracity.P.S.No, I did not make the original post.

Re: Rockys Blues Bar "It's very simple as to why Ewald and his late wife Frieda were so successful. Unlike Marc Beland they worked their tails off. Lucke Moto their moto rental outfit was the largest on the north coast and they invested in property all over the area. They also didn't try to live a life of luxury on pesos. it would be interesting to know how far behind in his payments Beland is at the new Rocky's or how he is paying for the condos? He knows the system. As he said to the Brauns. "Go ahead and sue me I haven't got anything" . Ewald knows it would take forever to get him into court and in the long run even when he would get judgement. Beland would just leave the country and return to Canada. Likeable? Yes at first when he patronizes you . Give him a little time and watch out! A few years ago some friends of his at the time, felt sorry for him and took up a collection to send him on vacation. They don't even go to Rockys now. He's all over DR1 not because he wants to help anyone but solely to promote his business.He knows very well he needs new people in his bar, locals who know him soon tire of his patronizing."This is all pretty common knowledge to anyone who has lived or worked in Sosua for anytime, and it is basically the exact same advice I have to relate if asked by people wanting to do business with Marc. I know the people involved in the vacation attempt as well. But it seems folks have to find out for themselves. The unfortunate part of doing so is that it just passes the problem along to someone else who ends up being hurt. As PT Barnum said, "A sucker is born every minute". Sad that this seems to have been taken to be an actual "business plan" by more than a few expats here.Someone else added something I have always suggested, that is to use your own brain and find out for yourself before rushing to a judgementor dismissing something as just a "personal" problem. Ewald Braun can be seen just about any day on Calle Ayuntamiento, his house is the one right next to Eddy's between Eddy's and the Exchange business. Take him into Eddy's and buy him a beer, and just ask. Ewald's a great story teller, and a marvelous person to get to know if you're relocating to the area.People moving here need to understand this is not the US or Canada. You do not have the same recourse available to you here when people scam you. That's what people are warning about. No one enjoy's having to say "I told you so" later.
