Puerto Rico starts on the west coast, not with a governor we do not have

Rincon and San Juan now have stories. There is still no Market Mayor and no governor to invent.

Puerto Rico starts on the west coast, not with a governor we do not have

Puerto Rico is no longer an empty region page. That is the week's fact. It is not a finished issue.

Two cities filed stories. Rincon, on the west coast, is the town the weekend tries to sell and the one locals actually keep — lighthouse, Sandy Beach, Steps, a downtown that is still a town. San Juan filed its own warning: you do not move to the island and call the whole thing home. You pick one San Juan. Those are city sentences, not a tourism deck.

What this page still does not have is a Market Mayor. Rincon is unclaimed. San Juan is unclaimed. There is no governor on this issue, and this piece will not name one so the map looks staffed. The live seats on LIVIN are still Rick Raanes, Sierra Haskins, Anthony Dazet, and Yomari. Puerto Rico is not on that list.

Read the two cities that already talked. Leave the rest of the island empty until a town files or a seat is actually held. That is how this magazine stays honest.
