    Local Woman Is Missing

    el gato, who started this thread, deleted the info, so this thread should be deleted by those who can do such things. she must have been found, one way or another.

    General Store in Lukeville is closed

    I need to ask my co-pilot if they unzipped the cooler we had the last two times we went through in June. I brought in dry food for sure, which was all visible in paper bags in the back seat, but not sure if we had more in the cooler. Weird. Thanks for the heads-up. Didn't even notice the new...

    General Store in Lukeville is closed

    Crap. Very sad news. Must admit, though, I'm usually too anxious to get into Mexico when I arrive and/or too burnt out on the way back to stop in anymore, not that it's ever open by that time. Any word on the PO Boxes that a lot of Penasco residents used?

    Sold!

    Thanks, Jim, probably should have asked you directly. Would be cool if it was a satellite version of Old Town Scottsdale's Salty Senorita, where Roger Clyne himself recently bartended his signature Mexican Moonshine tequila. And on the way to his place in Cholla Bay...

    Sunday random checks in Lukeville overwhelm travelers

    Yeah, seriously, in the US, when they raid your home of suspected drug dealing or whatever, I've seen it several times that the MANTIS, SWAT teams or whomever are not responsible for damages or turning your home upside down, even if you were wrongfully searched. I'm sure you can seek damages...

    Sunday random checks in Lukeville overwhelm travelers

    Meh. I specifically pack the top items in the trunk last because they are delicate in some nature and/or need to be accessed quickly further on in the trip. You really think your inspector is going to take the bag at the bottom of the pile and pack everything he/she took out in reverse? Doubtful.

    Sold!

    SO, anyway, who bought it? I know that plans have stalled on "The Joint," from the old owners at the Thirsty Parrot, which I figured would be up and running next to Flavios already. Is it someone who worked at a bar/restaurant that is still in existence on the Malecon?

    The Friendly Dolphin

    JOE! Had a similar experience. Got up and left after being in there for 15 minutes, then asking staff who was our waiter, they all thought someone else was taking our table, then 5 minutes later, still nothing. My friend was embarrassed that we were leaving and wanted to give them the benefit of...

    The Friendly Dolphin

    Service and quality have gone waaaay downhill, and what really pissed me off the last few times I've gone is they had the top floors closed off, you could only sit in the first room on the right, which now has pretty much no view. What's the point of going there if you can't even see the ocean...

    2 story bar... bar/restaurant? More hints! And I'm assuming you meant Mexican-Nationals, eh? Not Gringo-Nationals...heheh

    Donuts - ala krispy Kreme?

    Whoops! Thanks, just edited it. Guess I've got "going South" always on the brain when it comes to Mexico.

    Donuts - ala krispy Kreme?

    Yes, intersection of Sinaloa and Fremont. Reggies is just NORTH of the Mirador area (where Manny's is, etc.), across the street from the Best Western Playa Inn, on the way towards Las Conchas. Does that make sense? Here is a photo...

    Donuts - ala krispy Kreme?

    I'm sure you know of Reggie's 8/12, aka Drunkin' Donuts, correct? On Sinaloa? Someone posted in a thread that the equipment came from a chain in the US, not sure if it was actually Dunkin' Donuts, though.

    Major Convention Center Planned for Rocky Point

    I guess if you want to make things real simple (and not taking into account other political issues), it's like the guys who were raised on watching the Godfather movies vs. Scarface. Big difference.

    Major Convention Center Planned for Rocky Point

    Yes, "dressing" is a very good word to describe it! Would be nice to see those private jets from Scottsdale, etc. flying down Las Conchas & Sandy Beach again.

    Major Convention Center Planned for Rocky Point

    Yup, that's where I remember it. I wonder if the car rental companies will be American-based.

    Major Convention Center Planned for Rocky Point

    This was from last Monday's Star, don't remember anyone posting it previously. http://azstarnet.com/business/local/article_e63cf00e-df0b-5b8b-9b1e-d30ff106d6a0.html Spanish version here: http://azstarnet.com/laestrella/ciudad/article_0489379c-99de-533c-9fa6-9bfdef06a702.html Is the old airport...

    Border report for 6/27

    Got through last night (Monday) at 10:30PM or so, only 1 car in front of us, took about 5 minutes. LOTS of people were down this weekend, the Malecon was packed, restaurants fairly full, although it was MUGGY! The water was glass, which is great for you fisherman, I suppose, but with a low tide...

    Coastal Highway Current Status 6/11

    There was a link I posted a while back for the road log the other way, going north of Penasco toward the Golfo de Santa Clara junction, but I don't remember seeing any for going the other way south. Would love to see it--we considered taking the long route to Penasco through Nogales and then...
