    From the pics that Russ posted the other day (http://www.rockypointtalk.com/showthread.php?4698-Busy-in-RP-Sept-4th ), at least Sandy Beach by the Reef looked packed, and plus he and Rosy had said on the Rocky Point Ramblings radio show that the Malecon was pretty busy Saturday morning. On...

    Depending on which station you pick, looks like Penasco is going to be between 86 and 90 for highs all weekend, compared to highs of 100+ in Tucson and Phx. Perfecto! How has the weather, wind, water, etc. been so far this week? http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/76061.html

    Thoughts on Memorial Weekend Attendance Surge

    By all accounts, it sounds like this Memorial Day weekend was a major success in Puerto Penasco, following up the smashing Semana Santa holiday last month. The four Sonoran resorts were fully booked, photos show tents lining Sandy Beach in front of Playa Bonita, and the rentals up and down the...

    New Businesses on the New Malecon?

    Since the construction on the Malecon has finally been completed I've read in unrelated threads about certain businesses getting ready to open, others closing and/or moving, changing menus, etc. Thought it'd be nice to pick your brains and get them in one thread. To start the conversation...

    http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1720171042504 This was posted on Thursday. Should be dry by now, right? (Only partially finished, if you can't watch the video, the concrete only extends to the edge of the building BooBar is part of.)

    Malecon Construction Status?

    Haven't seen much about the Malecon progress since a couple of January posts and was wondering if they're going to finish in time for the Carnaval parades, or at least by next weekend for the Spring Break traffic. Last pics I saw still showed the area unpaved. Thanks!

    Baja Arizona. Let's Make This Happen!

    These Phx politicians keep bitching about illegals causing all sorts of trouble? Fine, let's take that border away. We'll deal with it. Now if we could just bargain with Mexico and take the chunk that includes Penasco! "SOS is a Committee dedicated to creating the 51st American state in...

    Best Bar to Watch Sunday's Mexico World Cup Match

    Was wondering where everyone is going to watch Sunday's 11:30am World Cup match of Mexico vs. Argentina. Anyone know of any specials going on? Chango's (or Capone's?) may have the most TVs, but I think I may bum out my lady friend if there isn't at least an ocean view...So I'm personally...
