At Christmas this past year a local friend of mine told me in amazement" Do you know what my teenage daughter wants for Christmas" I guessed some clothes or jewelry. She retorted "NO, she wants a book! Just a book of her own read. " No public library here with books to check out and none at the...

Take a photo and get photo of ID of the Officer AND the "Judge". Asst. Chief told the Cholla HOA meeting that photos were OK. Have heard that often a 'sit in' person will represent as a judge and split the $$ with the officer. Especially in the off hours. Partly why the fines are so elastic...

When school is out here the number of vacationing Mexicans increases, irrespective of the heat and humidity. Us visitors are maybe 50% less during the hottest times, but still some come. Those that are able of the permanent residents head north for June, July, August, and part of September.

There are two more or less separate restaurants both owned and operated by Luca. . Panne & Vino relocated to lower level there some time ago from the location on Benito Juarez at the crucero, and changed the name to Fish. It was not a successful formula for Penasco. Expensive and Fu Fu French...

I especially like the report of sighting a lone Vaguita swimming along in the sea while driving down the highway or maybe across the salt flats at 120 MPH,!! Or was that sitting at the bar in Cholla, or from his balcony in the Mirador. Quite a fella that one.

I still hear form Haps from time to time. He was checking the forum regularly.

I started visiting on the old forum. Was living up in the US and seriously thinking of relocating to Penasco. Found the earlier Forum and signed on. I'm not a Forum type of guy wanting mindless blather and found the information I could glean useful. I have also tried to be helpful to newbies as...

I don't cross into the US often. Maybe 5 or 6 times in the past 10 years, My best crossing was years back. It was a hot, hot day. Lines moderately long. I had a Bob Marley CD on, prolly too loud while waiting in line with the generator running, AC on the roof of the Roadtrek and dash both...

That is an issue ignored by AMPi and Realtors here. They usually grab the commission from the first money to pass. If the sale is never completed they do not reimburse the commission. Remember the ownership of the property does not pass hands from the seller to the buyer until the ownership...

I did not get to partake but yes Chinese restaurants everywhere. Hard to find a decent Mexican restaurant !!

Just returned from first trip to Mexicali. Was shocked how large it is and how fast they drive on the city streets. Sort of a window of understanding into the way they drive when here. Had to drive slowly and heard the word Verga shouted by a driver roaring by. What's with that??? Had to hire a...

I always thought his name was Nit..............

This makes me think about the now abandoned ambulance station funded by families whose children died on the highway because there was no nearby ambulance. Now abandoned prolly form lack of funding.

Anyone know what road they refer to??

A white pickup with no markings and very loud police like siren roared, non stop through the congestion at Super Ley and Coppel during Semana Santa. I could hear it coming all the way from Benito Juarez. The tone was the police tone, not ambulance or fire truck. May have been official but think...

Exactly how do they collect this info? I assume only from entries made on either, searches, comments, like given, based on agreement with the TOS ?? Clearly most of the information is useful to target ads which I guess is the sole income to the site?? Not too troublesome as it should cut the...

Nuts as usual. I think they ran ads on radio throughout Northern Mexico inviting the stupidest, most aggressive drivers to come to Penasco. Total lawless ness on the roads. Forget all traffic control. Avoid Calle 13 after noon. Avoid the Malecon too.

Several variables impact cost. Ask for an itemized breakout. Only an Notaria can give you an accurate figure. Don't believe the agents. Some are packing on ADP like a car shop. For whatever reason renewals in Las Conchas have skyrocketed. $10k or close should cover most normal average costs.

If they will let you, you can go to the La Pinta estuary and fish on the Mayan Property. You can see Gilespies old hacienda mentioned above, across the estuary. If you choose to go across to the other side it is a RIGHT turn on the Caborca road. Not sure of the distance post but watch for a very...

A local wag said it was the national flag of Mexico
