United Healthcare is not issuing new plans in the VI, at least they weren't two months ago. This is one of the reasons we had to move off island. Do...

Can each of you honestly claim an equal degree of moral outrage over the murder of a Crucian? Do you know any Crucians who have been murdered or who ...

I think the "them vs. us" mentality is one that is held by both "local" and "transplant". You see it every time someone starts a sentence with the wo...

Alana, I don't see how my post was attacking STT. It's a list of facts about both islands? Please enlighten me how that was an "attack." I don't cl...

Benjamin Moore at Colorama is in Gallows Bay. Great service, great products. I haven't been disappointed yet. Home Depot paint is also consiste...

I think it's more that the STX people on this board tend to know each other and be more networked in the community. STX seems to be to me to be more ...

Thanks for clarifying ms411, I was trying to imagine a store on St. Thomas that sells tires and purses….haha!

JulieKay [ PM ] Late to the party, but we're not going anywhere either. And since our business is based in the States, we make our money in ...

We wound up having to leave. I remember this thread, sadly.

Two different things - yes, people are responsible for their own safety and should use common sense regardless of where they live. But the condition ...

I too often thought that food prices on St. Croix were very similar to food prices when I lived in NYC. Packaged and processed goods tend to be the m...

One thing I notice a lot on St. Croix is that people often blame the victims, instead of the criminals. It becomes, oh, he should have known better/n...

No, we lived out East where it was drier. Just not as much rain. We kept our cistern well maintained.

We would buy a truckload of WAPA water from Paradise. My husband just confirmed it was $300. Last time we bought from them was about six months ago. T...

The cistern was never completely empty, so yeah. We'd call when it was about 1/4 full-ish. No idea on how much if it was completely empty. Someone el...

Being shot at dinner in a restaurant, whether trying to intervene (and save others) or not, is a shot out of a clear blue sky in my book. Blaming the...

My take - It is possible to be part of a community and still be concerned about crime. The two are not exclusive. Granted there are those who may se...

STT had to cancel part of their carnival this last year due to gangs shooting in the crowd. There is bad stuff throughout the VI. I wish there was a...

Crime happens out West too. Ask the Tingles, who own Coconuts. There is no place on St. Croix where you can absolutely, 100%, feel "safe." Ther...

We generally would buy one or two truckloads of water a year on the East end - we had a 14K gallon cistern. A truckload would fill it about 2/3 full ...

listen people, if anyone finds out that crime isn't that bad here or that we have amazing farms and open land and over 200 open beaches, more people a...

You're welcome, good luck! 🙂

I see you added about Hovensa - most people on St. Croix say the crime is better now that Hovensa is closed, rather than before. I don't know if it's...

We just moved from St. Croix back to the states. Here's my honest experience regarding crime on STX from my last two years there: I would not s...
