Old San Juan A Five Star Trip Advisor Traveler Review
In1992 Puerto Rico prepared the celebration of The Columbus Quincentennial and this event sparked a major refurbishing of the colonial architecture of Old San Juan Puerto Rico. The island's architectural heritage is Spanish, of course, as seen in the constricted, curving cobblestone streets and the pastel-colored, tile-roofed buildings with decorative balconies and weighty wooden doors that open onto interior patios in the style of Andalucia in southern Spain.
Recent rebuilding and restoration projects emphasis on Old San Juan. It is projected that there are a minimum of 400 historic buildings in Old San Juan, including several of the luxury models of Spanish magnificent architecture in the New World. Old San Juan was Spain's main epicenter of trade and military control in the West Indies for approximately four centuries.
Calle Dr. Francisco Rufino de Goenaga in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
This shows Calle Dr. Francisco Rufino de Goenaga in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico on February 26, 2017. This is near the Plaza of the Five Centuries and the El Morro fort. I have titled this video based on the street sign in the video plus Google maps. FYI, on Bing maps, this street has a different name--Calle Beneficencia. Given the street sign in the video, I believe Google is correct.
Puerto Rico Castillo San Felipe del Morro
Lies on the northwestern-most point of the islet of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Named in honor of King Philip II of Spain, the fortification, also referred to as el Morro or promontory, was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay, and defend the city of Old San Juan from seaborne enemies. In 1983, during the Reagan Administration, the castillo was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in conjunction with the San Juan National Historic Site. Over two (2) million visitors a year explore the windswept ramparts and passageways making the castillo one of Puerto Rico's main visitor attractions. Facing the structure, on the opposite side of the bay, a smaller fortification known as El Cañuelo complemented the castillo's defense of the entrance to the bay.

San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan (/ˌsæn ˈhwɑːn/; Spanish pronunciation: [saŋ ˈhwaŋ], Saint John), officially Municipio de la Ciudad Capital San Juan Bautista (Municipality of the Capital City, Saint John the Baptist), is the capital and most populous municipality in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 395,326 making it the 46th-largest city under the jurisdiction of the United States. San Juan was founded by Spanish colonists in 1521, who called it Ciudad de Puerto Rico (Rich Port City). Puerto Rico's capital is the second oldest European-established capital city in the Americas, after Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. Several historical buildings are located in San Juan; among the most notable are the city's former defensive forts, Fort San Felipe del Morro and Fort San Cristóbal, and La Fortaleza, the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the Americas.
Today, San Juan is one of Puerto Rico's most important seaports, and is the island's manufacturing, financial, cultural, and tourism center. The population of the Metropolitan Statistical Area, including San Juan and the municipalities of Bayamón, Guaynabo, Cataño, Canóvanas, Caguas, Toa Alta, Toa Baja, Carolina and Trujillo Alto, is about 2 million inhabitants; thus, about half the population of Puerto Rico now lives and works in this area. San Juan is also a principal city of the San Juan-Caguas-Fajardo Combined Statistical Area. The city has been the host of events within the sports community, including the 1979 Pan American Games, 1966 Central American and Caribbean Games, events of the 2006, 2009 and 2013 World Baseball Classics, the Caribbean Series and the Special Olympics and MLB San Juan Series in 2010.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Puerto Rico Crisis: What The Main Stream News Don’t Tell You
Puerto Rico Crisis accompanied by some of Puerto Rico’s most famous performers, thousands of people marched to the governor’s residence in San Juan on Wednesday chanting demands for Gov. Ricardo Rosselló to resign after the leak of online chats that show him making misogynistic slurs and mocking his constituents, trap artist Bad Bunny made a Brutally Honest statement about Puerto Rico news. The crowd ranged from teenagers to retirees, with some waving the island’s flag printed in black and gray rather than red, white and blue to symbolize their discontent with a government they call corrupt and unresponsive to its people. Musicians Ricky Martin, Residente and Bad Bunny marched and addressed the crowd. Police erected concrete barricades and shop owners covered store windows with metal sheeting or plywood as if a hurricane were coming. The multicolored umbrellas that form a photogenic awning over the street in front of the governor’s mansion were taken down. The turnout filled several city blocks in colonial Old San Juan but appeared to fall short of the many tens of thousands that some Rosselló opponents had predicted. Many older protesters went home before nightfall as chanting young people filled Old San Juan’s Totem Plaza and the first few blocks leading up to the 16th-century fortress where the governor resides. Karla Villalón has three elementary-age children and an 81-year-old grandmother. Her kids have been uprooted twice in two years when the first one school, then another, was closed by budget cuts under Rosselló. Her grandmother, a retired teacher, is anguished over the possibility of losing her pension in future rounds of cutbacks. Villalón was outraged when Rosselló’s former education secretary was arrested and accused of steering millions in improper contracts to politically connected contractors. Then hundreds of pages of online chats between Rosselló and members of his administration leaked, revealing the men mocking women, the disabled and victims of Hurricane Maria. Villalón has had enough. “It’s the final straw,” the homemaker said before the march. “My kids’ classrooms have mold in them. … There’s just so much outrage that’s been building over time.” That feeling rippled across Puerto Rico, where many are angry over what they see as neglect by Washington and the U.S. territory’s own government. The island is mired in crises. It is struggling to emerge from a debt-driven financial failure and a more than decade-long recession. It needs federal funding to help recover from Hurricane Maria, the 2017 storm that devastated the island’s electrical system and a months-long failure to provide care to the elderly and medically vulnerable. The outrage erupted after Rosselló’s former secretary of education and five other people were arrested on charges of steering federal money to unqualified, politically connected contractors. Freelance music producer Ise Sonja, 28, said he took to the streets Wednesday because he is fed up with corruption and government ineptitude. “(Hurricane) Maria woke the people up — it outraged us as a people.” Since the storm, hundreds of schools have been closed to save money and a wide range of social services and pensions are being cut back, or are under threat. Prominent Puerto Ricans on the U.S. mainland raised their voices in the call for Rosselló to resign. Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda led about 200 protesters at a rally in New York’s Union Square on Wednesday. The group waved Puerto Rican flags amid drumbeats, chanting in Spanish: “Long live free Puerto Rico!” “Puerto Ricans are so numb to politics in America and we get lies from the Trump administration,” said Miranda. But the alleged corruption surrounding the governor of the U.S. territory “is the last straw and Puerto Ricans are standing up against it.” Singer Ricky Martin said in a video message posted online: “Puerto Rico has suffered so much and we can’t deal with the cynicism of these leaders anymore. Enough already. Enough already.”
“This is coming out early so you can eat it for breakfast,” Residente raps on the song, “Sharpening the knives.” ”Fury is the only political party that unites us.” In comments to The Associated Press shortly before the protest was to start, he said, “The anger is so great that for the first time I’m seeing Puerto Rico rise up and take to the streets.” In Boston, Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who is from Puerto Rico, told reporters that he hopes Rosselló resigns within the next hours or days. “I know it’s hard to do — but at the same time, as a whole, we’re very upset and very mad at everything that is going on,” Cora said. “I’m with my people back home.” ___...

The Morton Theater - 195 W. Washington Street
This amazing 4 story structure is the Morton Theater. Built in 1909 by Monroe Bowers Pink Morton, the Morton is the only continuously operating theater from the early twentieth century remaining in Athens and one of only four remaining African-American vaudeville theaters in the nation. The theater is the only remaining business from the core of the African-American business district in downtown Athens. The district, known as Hot Corner because of the Morton and other African-American run businesses around that intersection, included the warehouses that are now Trapeze and Athens First Bank and Trust. On the inside, the large two-level theater seats 500 and retains much of its original character. The stage of the Morton has seen many African American performers, and it is rumored that even greats like Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith have graced the walls with their sound. The building is still in use today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The corner the Morton sits on is also the site of Athfest and the Edward Wright festival, two of Athens biggest festivals, and its also where Widespread Panic played its Guinness Book-recorded largest free show in history. Even now the Morton is still at the heart of the downtown Athens entertainment scene.
