Oh Panama Where Is My Old Home |
|
I had a nightmare last night. My boyfriend and I where walking down a sidewalk towards the apartment where I used to live with my dad. He was pushing a stroller with a baby in it that was not ours, but that was besides the point. During our posible kindnap/walk I noticed the area where the 4 story apartment complex that I lived for more than 10 years of my young adult life was no longer there. Instead stood tall coomercial building still in construction, with lots of parking and office spaces.
I woke up worried if my dad got a good settlement of the sale of the aparment, and who did that baby belong to. |

While dreaming the nightmare of been unconsciously checked into a social security hospital in Panama, I noticed it had been almost 3 months since I had made a payment for my private medical insurance. To avoid such an issue I decided to take care of this today. A month or so ago, the city decided to changed the orientations for certain street lanes in Bellavista, so I was diving preoccupied with my future route. As I arrive before my medical insurance provider I saw something that made me begin on of the first of many random/high pitched conversations that will probably get me interned.
There was a 15 story high building in pretty good shape, probably less than 20 years of construction being torn down. My alarmed squeal, was due to the fact that I hadn't seen a building of more than 7 or 8 stories high been demolished for a brand new one. For the fist time I am wondering if my medical insurance covers a mental breakdown, if my own apartment building (10 stories, 22 years old) could be demolished, and if the only checkout person is supposed to be on the phone while there is a client waiting in line. |

Panama's economy has grown thanks to the recent real estate market. This has increase the auto purchase potential of many locals and newcommers in town. Not even the global energy crisis and high fuel prices has put a stop to the unbearable traffic we get to drive in each week day. Now, our govenment provable greatly influenced by investors and developers believing in this country, have started working on the creating road ways above the Panama Bay right in front of Avenida Balboa in an ocean fill named Cinta Costera.
Soon vehicles will be able to enjoy various brand new lanes to get from point a to point be, but whe n your get to point be, where are you supposed to park your car.
The city has no available parking spaces for clients or employees in the downtown area. Most people as I, would agree to pay for a parking space instead of being run down by security guards or being fined by the traffic police.
There is many land for sale in the city, closed out by there hideous advertising billboards. The mayor should stop issued this company advertising permits, and allow people who just want to get to work or just getting things done downtown to park for a fee or for free. |

Panama is growing in popularity as one of the new “it” places to go when planning an out of country vacation, and it is easy to see why. It has the lowest crime rates out of all of Mexico lining up with the United States for tourism safety, it has plenty of activities including both beaches and adventure, is very close and convenient to major airline hubs in the United States, uses the American dollar as its currency, and the list goes on and on. It almost appears to be a paradise that somehow has escaped the wrath of the terrorism obsessed rest of the world. Even the natives are friendly who greet tourists and welcome them into the community both as visitors or neighbors if they decide to take up permanent residency in Panama.

Welcome to my view related on war between all the remaining small properties in Panama against the new comercial and residencial skyscrapers in downtown Panama City.
If you do get to see one of these spanish colonial antique real estate in Panama I refer to, be sure to stop, and capture this exotic image quickly, because the next time you walk on by, it it will not be there. Residents of Panama are all saying silent good byes to the homes, business and structures we took for granted, for so long. I can almost hear them saying "wasn't there a house there before".
