Puerto Rico Does It Better (Puerto Rico Lo Hace Mejor) is one of the mottoes of the island and can be found on many registration plates. One could debate if that is aspirational rather than reality.

Next to the disused Regency Hotel in the Condado district of San Juan, stands a bi-level parking lot (Estacionamiento Regency/Parking) divided by the remains of a wall atop which can be seen this vaguely inexplicable structure which even has an abandoned chain in place. 200_P1010240
