Can anyone give very easy directions coming from San Diego to Sandy Beach for two young adults who have never been in Mexico before and get lost easily in the US? They are coming down this Saturday (Feb. 18) Thank you.

I understand that the road coming down from the Coastal Highway to Sandy Beach area is due to be finished within a week or two. Also, that it would be a little longer, by a few miles, coming down from Sonoyta but would save time. Of course, coming in from San Luis/California it would save both...

Again, read in Numero Uno that Donald Trump, Jr. is still showing interest in investing here. Done deal or just more talk? Anyone in the actual know?

Read on Numero Uno this morning that Sam's Club and Auto Zone are coming to town. Anyone know where they will be? When? I do remember when the Bodega was going up that there was talk Sam's Club was going in next to it. There is an unfinished box like structure out on Sandy Beach :) - either have...

This morning, while coming back from City Hall (property tax time) we heard, then saw a truck pulling a cage with three tigers (I think there were three). Further out we found where the tent had been set up for the circus. Love starting my day with tiger sightings - only in Penasco. Can't beat...

Does anyone know where the DIF office is? I understand if you have an FM2, and are over 60, you can get discounts of prescriptions at certain locations. Have found that most of DH's prescriptions are more expensive here then the US (which was major surprise as we used to have friends drive to...

Just read where we had a 4.7 earthquake this morning at about 5:30am. El Gato started in about 3:30am - determined to get us up. I finally gave in and went out to the couch about 5am at which point I figured he would settle down like he always does. Not this time, he just kept at it. By 5:30am...

Heard where construction is suppose to start up again on Esmeralda on Sandy Beach. We've looked at rusty cranes forever. However, the last trip down the beach past Esmeralda we noticed that on the east side of the building complex the old rusty crane(s) were gone and a new crane appeared to be...

Heard recently that the convention center's location has been moved from the old air port area on the main highway to the area near the Arches in Sandy Beach and is suppose to be breaking ground this week. DH and I took a drive this morning and there were a couple of guys with surveying...

Has anyone gone to the newly opened Ley Express? If so, is it smaller then Super Ley, the same, or???? And where is it located (for the person who gets lost easily lol). Tks.

Our car wouldn't start this morning (first time we've ever had problems) - I'm guessing battery has expended it's life time use. Anyone have suggestions on where we can get a battery? Or are we better off having a friend bring one down next week? Any suggestions welcomed. tks.

Joinus just had an article about a presentation in Mexico City about the cruise ship Home Port project. The article mentioned that at least 4 ship companies have shown an interest. After the past year when ships were pulling out of ports this could be very good for Mexico. I wonder if this has...

If one plays the slots at the Black Dog do you get paid in money or prizes? I've read where casinos are illegal in Mexico and read that Black Dog was shut down for a time because of this - but has recently reopened. Does anyone know what the status of casino gambling is in the free port zone? In...

Does anyone know someone (or company) that is qualified to do elevator maintenance? Tks.

It is a little after 9:30am and we've been watching the shrimp boats headed into port. No A/C on today - in fact DH came back in and put on a sweater before venturing out. Obviously gettting part of the Pacific storm that is headed for AZ. DS in Utah said they were getting snow yesterday and...

At noontime today we were just told that a guy was driving around drunk with kids in the car - so the guard called the police and he wouldn't open the gates until they arrived. No way was he letting a drunk on the road with kids in the car! Now, I'm sure that the story will eventually get...

Went to the fish market today - Jumbo Blues were $6/lb; browns $5/lb. Paid $1 for a big Red Snapper fillet. DS doen't bargain - but ended up with extra shrimp. So fresh there was NO fishy smell at all! They all said the Snapper didn't have one bone and it was excellent - best they had had (I'm...

Does anyone know where the consignment shop that was in the old port moved to? I heard somewhere on Fremont - but didn't spot it while driving up and down. Kids looking for a dresser and chair. Tks.

Today we ran into Arturo's nephew (by chance) at the bank and he and DS compared notes for when they sold shells on the beach to the tourists when they were kids - both were paid in shells and have a beautiul collection. Wore wooden trays. DS would make his little brother go with him as a...

Has anyone tried Aqui Es Con Flavio at the Malecon? If so, how did you like it? Menu? Prices? Tks.
