They turned their traditional Mexican square into a beach club?!

I think it was on SB, DD, but the emminent historian EG opined that Cozumelanos don't have the attachment to what you call the 'traditional square.' They built the current one for attracting tourists and they are building a new one to attract more tourists. They have an entirely different view of it than you and I apparently. This one is going to have giant "Cozumel" in letters you can stand in front of an take your picture. And an in ground fountain. I was chatting with a taxi driver I know and asked what he thought. He thought Coz REALLY needed a fountain with the colored lights and that would really set off the plaza. I dunno; feels like Disney World. We will see I guess.
And no. The sand is being replaced with cement slowly.

Wow. Thanks for the update. I agree in that my idea of the square is vastly different from theirs. Does sound a little Disney now. And it looks like it wont even be close to done for Carnival.

Im staying with a good friend who is selling material to the square. I rode with them yesterday and is a long way from completion. The new Westin hotel we went to today is moving right along with 3 shifts going 24\7. I guess that is the difference between private and public money.

It's slightly more finished than the last time someone posted about it.
It will take many more months to complete.
