Yeah, seemed strange to me too when I drove past Palomas, maybe I was just imagining it. I should've snapped a picture, maybe someone else can when they have a chance. I assume if there *is* work going on its probably just to make it slightly less of an eyesore... At least on the bright side...

Was down this weekend and noticed that the unfinished Palomas building looked to have been painted on on side and it looked like they may have had some new work going on. All smoke and mirrors maybe just to pretty up the rust, or is there some tangible new development?

Unfortunately you may be right, JJ- my cousin is Phoenix PD and orders for years have been to not turn over any suspected "undocumented" persons to ICE if stopped for pretty much anything except serious violent or major drug crimes- which is usually irrelevant anyway since they would probably...

Can you expound on this Jerry? Planning to come down Super Bowl weekend and drive back Monday, which is... you guessed it- Feb 6! If there are planned protests that day or weekend I wanna be prepared...

I was in Guadalajara in October and spent a day exploring Chapala- it was absolutely fantastic. We definitely noticed many retiree-aged gringos/canucks around. I'm not near retirement but I would definitely love to go back. The historic village of Tlaquepaque is also incredible...

Here is an older thread regarding ATM withdrawals. There are alternative cards with no fees and that also reimburse any local ATM fees: http://www.rockypointtalk.com/threads/foreign-transaction-bank-fees.9149/ As far as credit cards, there are many now that specifically mention that they do...

Answer #1 (easy answer): A U.S. Citizen cannot be denied re-entry into the United States Answer #2 (hard answer): While Answer #1 is technically true, re-entry becomes much more painful based on what type of ID you do or don't have. Passport book/card or Enhanced License will get you in no...

Just checked on Google Maps at it should be on the corner of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (aka Calle 13) and Juventino Rosas.

Yeah, she sets up right in front of that shack. In the picture you actually see the sign folded up inside. Its right on Miguel Hidalgo, on the right hand side at that intersection.

For furniture, these seem to be the main 2 that people mention: Hacienda Del Sol hd-sol.com https://goo.gl/maps/gGXphaLLens Muebles Coloniales https://goo.gl/maps/puAZcH61PuS2 I visited both recently and ended up buying a bed from one and mattress from the other. I think either or both have...

https://goo.gl/maps/jfQcTQBDbbk Here is the location in Google Maps, which also shows some nice pics of their bread and doughnuts...

I found this place a few trips back while en route to Panaderia Cornejo for bread/doughnuts. You just take Calle 13 east and its right on the corner where you turn left to get to Cornejo (which is also fantastic BTW). I'm not a tamale expert but we liked both the corn and beef ones we tried (and...

Last weekend Super Ley had Tecate 12 packs 2 for 223 pesos. I checked my credit card after purchase and it literally came out to $5.75 per 12-pack. Giddy-Up!

Hey all! Everything was brand new, and as I said it was also great to have them delivered right to the condo. (as I mentioned, Coloniales had free shipping, Hacienda del Sol charged $25) As far as pricing on the mattress, one important thing to note was that it was just the mattress, i.e. no...

Thanks Gang for the advice, just got back from a week long stay and mission accomplished. Got a king size mattress from Muebles Coloniales for 3,200 pesos (~$165) plus free delivery! Didn't get the frame there since they were a bit pricey and for most frames you had to get the complete bedroom...

LOL, I think the "tip method" still applies depending on the circumstances. I cross the border daily in Nogales and they are usually much more interested in Mexican nationals crossing big ticket items or bulk purchases (aka suitcases full of Aeropostale T-Shirts for re-sale). I always have...

Hey gang! I have 2 friends that arrived yesterday to our place the Sonoran Sea, and they just texted me that they have 2 flat tire, and 1 of the 2 has a pretty bad tear. They asked for recommendations about tire repair/replace. I know there are random "llanterias" everywhere in Mexico but I...
