Back in the ’50’s, there was a bar / restaurant in downtown Chrisitansted that was “THE” place to be, especially on New Year’s Eve. I’m told that people from all over came to Club Comanche to see the old year end and start the new one.

There are pros and cons associated with each choice. Here are several questions to consider that will help you in this decision process:
remains of over 80 sugar mills, which were used in the production of sugar and rum here.
This unique and historic property is perfect for those who love living close to nature. The huge deck includes a pool, hot tub, large dining table, outdoor lighting, and a knock-your-socks-off view of the Christiansted Harbor and Buck Island.

Many customers are confused by what this really means, and how it differs from other types of surveys. Recently, a local surveyor (Gary Bourdon of Survey Services Co. in St. Croix) provided us with a brief explanation of the three most common types of surveys:
