dmorales, This is on St. Croix. When you see STX, that means St. Croix. St. Thomas is STT and St. John is STJ.

The apartment is on St. Croix.

Do most of you think the local children are still being taught to greet people properly? I have very little contact with children on island, so I don...

I think some people do come here expecting stateside service and amenities and just can't, or won't adjust. Others come knowing better, and think the...
