According to published reports in a number of Mexican publications, FONATUR (Federal Tourism Promotion Fund) has announced that the much ballyhooed Nautical Ladder's final form has been canceled and the assets of the 10 projects that have either been completed or partially completed will be...

Totally off topic, but since there is no heading for off topic discussions I'm putting this here even though it has nothing to do with Mexico. I'm quoting from someone else's story, who wrote about it better than I could. I hope you all don't mind; it's been on my mind this morning... I have...

Here are some photos of sunrises and sunsets over the Sea of Cortez. The question is, which are sunrises and which are sunsets? :sunny: http://rptides.blogspot.com/2009/07/rocky-point-pictorial-sunrise-sunset.html

As a sorta kinda follow-up to the recent thread about drug legalization, here is an interesting article you all might want to read. A few snippets from it: Taken in conjunction with the very sobering article jerry linked to in Mother Jones, this touches briefly on the same subject but takes a...

Anyone want to win the ultimate surfer vacation? Read the rest at http://rptides.blogspot.com/2009/07/pacifico-beer-launches-epic-adventure.html By the way, have you ever been to the Pacifico website at http://mexicoviapacifico.com ? It's kinda neato. :-)

In case anyone is interested: I don't have a lot of details, but here is what I've got so far (per my new post in RPTides-- New Governor, New Mayor) Yesterday's midterm elections are over and though final results have not been formally announced, it looks like the former ruling party has made a...

Some pics from Shawn's volleyball tournament last April. I was never very good at volleyball when younger (short, slow, and tripped a lot), and I'm too old now (it'd kill me before 5 minutes was up, lol), but DANG it looks like they're having fun. Guess I'll just have to sit in the shade on the...

I mean the city itself. Raise your hand if you think it's beautiful. I have my own opinion, and a direction I think would be beneficial to its development (because it's going to develop whether we all like it or not), but if you think it's visually lovely just as it is, you might not like what I...

Ever wondered what happened to the Villa Cortez condo project down by the Morua Estuary? Wonder no longer: Along with a lot of other projects (Suenos del Mar, for one-- isn't that Larry Large's deal?), land, etc., it is being auctioned off in a developer's liquidation auction on June 4. See...

Some photos of beaches and pelicans for you to enjoy (at least I hope you'll enjoy them!). Just point your browser toward http://rptides.blogspot.com/2009/05/beaches-and-pelicans-in-rocky-point.html Happy Mother's Day and Happy Birthday to Rocky Point Talk!

Does anyone have a reasonable estimate of the actual population of RP? Going back as far as a couple of years ago I keep seeing different figures. The mayor says 60,000; someone else says 75,000; others vary between 35,000 and 45,000. For cryin' out loud, how many people really live there? And...

It looks like the developers of Los Corales are still trying to get it going. According to a press release today, they have signed a letter of intent with KSI Capital for a minimum of $25 million to fund the project. So what do you think? I know there's been a lot of anger aimed at them...

Anyone here a golfer or golf aficionado (or just an aficionado of fun) who will be attending JJ Cantina's One Club Open Golf event this month? I've never been, but it sounds like a kick in the pants. Is it? Lots of events in PP this month. What to do, what to do...

If you all don't mind, I'm going to post here my recent blogpost about medical tourism in Mexico, relevant due to Carlos Slim's plans to invest in that field in Rocky Point. Then I'd like to know your opinions on the subject. Do you think it will ever come to pass? What do you think?

I know Spring Break has just started down there with the ASU crowd, but I'm wondering how it's going. Good crowds or not? I've been seeing lots of negative press (and so have you, I'm sure), and coupled with harsh economic times it seems to be having an effect. Take this article in the Las...

I posted an article Tuesday on my blog about a timeshare company with ties to RP. The company is ILX Resorts, headquartered in Phoenix, and they have filed for Chapter 11 reorganization. I know that they were in the process of developing a resort near Las Conchas somewhere, and that for a while...
