    No booze in RP weekend of July 4th!

    Yeah, I thought a while back they changed the law to exclude tourist areas--or that bars could sell but stores couldn't. Maybe the other way around. Now I understand why none (well, most) of the rental units I've been looking up hadn't marked the 4th of July as a holiday weekend. Thought it was...

    Is Rocky Point Beautiful?

    Yeah, not to offend anyone involved, but that project that cuts into the iconic rocky "point" cliff below El Capitan, wrapping around the Malecon to Mirador--if it wasn't so George Jetsonesque, never-gonna-happen looking, it would make me sick to my stomach. Besides ruining one of the few iconic...

    Is Rocky Point Beautiful?

    Eh. *sigh* So many thoughts on this subject, most of them at odds with each other. My friends and I have discussed this at length...Outside of the usual sprawl/growth arguments, here’s some obvious points: Clearly PP didn’t grow with any vision in mind, but when you visit other towns even in...

    El Mirador Village Hotel Question...

    Just curious if anyone's stayed at the El Mirador Village Hotel before, or has heard from anyone who has. New kid on the block, just east (I think?) from Manny's, placed perpendicular to the beach between Manny's and Pitaya Bar. (Here's a link to the official site...

    Is Rocky Point safe?

    Oh, you've seen a bottle of Jarritos! That's like saying you've never seen a taco stand. Maybe this will refresh your memory: http://mexicofoodandmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jarritos-soda-by-perezeeb-flickr.jpg

    WTF(ruit) was THAT?

    As always, it's the little guy who gets punished by others who've taken advantage of the system. They're just trying to protect the local economy is all. AND, if you put on some event down there, they don't want Americans pocketing all the money and not paying any Mexican taxes, etc. Which...

    Facebook Help

    PS--Do NOT delete those accounts. In order to prevent people from going nuts and squatting on a bunch of domain names, they're only letting you pick a name if you've had your account for over a week before they announced all this. Er, I guess you can't delete 'em if you can't get on 'em anyway...

    Facebook Help

    Facebook went through domain changes last night so it's very possible the system is overloaded. I know specifically that they were sending out auto updates on the wrong date and passwords could be yet another issue. Think hard, though, is it possible you were using another email account to...

    Video: Hermosillo Channel 6 Report on Puerto Penasco Shooting

    Was just cruising through the most recent YouTubes with the tags "Puerto Penasco" and I found this news report. They show a black Yukon full of bullets, a weapon & blood that looks to be from the white Cherokee, which was also struck. What exactly is this from??? It's posted on May 26th, so it...

    11 dead from Y Griega/ Caborca

    Rosey, didn't mean any offense by the word "loosely," there's just no credit in your article to any sources so I didn't know where you got your info. This is also true for the photos accompanying the post; if they were done by locals and sent to you direct, I can totally understand people not...

    RP/RCPM this weekend

    11 dead from Y Griega/ Caborca

    I stand corrected--Babelfish was pretty much dead-on. One news item not mentioned prior is that they've suspended classes at the elementary school across from where the shooting went down at the Police Station. Btw, I have seen the town name "Y Griega" cited here, and the AZ Star refers to the...

    11 dead from Y Griega/ Caborca

    This story from Hermosillo's El Imparcial doesn't appear to have been linked yet: http://www.elimparcial.com/EdicionEnLinea/Notas/Noticias/05062009/380379.aspx I'm assuming "Nota Publicada: 05/06/2009 06:21" means it was posted yesterday morning. Is the article on RockyPointNewsOnline.com a...

    Camel Toe Cantina Facebook

    Isn't Bohemia part of the Tecate umbrella? I figured as such from this info: Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery (Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma) is a major brewery based in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, founded in 1890. It is a subsidiary of FEMSA, the largest beverage company in Mexico. The...

    Princesa / Agave Grill / Casa Club Questions

    Hah, well “wifi” is an abbreviation for “wireless internet” (apologies if you already knew that) and the Casa Club is that round building in the middle of the pool area with large windows all the way around. Thanks for the heads-up about the beach music situation. May have to invest in some...

    Camel Toe Cantina Facebook

    OK, I found your group AND you on Facebook, Jim! FYI, previously you said you were on there under the name RockyPointJim, but it's actually your first and last name. Maybe you were mixing that up with your MySpace. (I'm referring to the the "Let's Network, Penasco" thread.)

    Passport? I don't need no stinking passport

    I KNEW IT! I read words to this effect a few months back in an article but couldn't find anything recently to back it up. A friend related this info but I didn't realize they got it from the Star. Key passage here: A passport application receipt will help, but those travelers should also...
