    Package and Grocery Service

    How will the grocery service work? Sounds like a great idea for those of us who can find any reason for not leaving Penasco - either the day is too beautiful (almost all the time) or it isn't a great day so who wants to travel (doesn't happen often) or just so lazy that the thought of traveling...

    Just passing it along...

    We attended his first Town Meeting and it was well worth it. If you haven't met Mr. Cummins yet you should. He is pro Penasco and Sonora.

    Mosquitos in Las Conchas

    Granddaughter was getting bitten in Scottsdale, after assuring her sister that Phoenix didn't have mosquitoes. Normally we don't have them in Penasco. One of the old druggist used to mix up the worst smelling stuff when they did come in - worked great at keeping them away - along with anyone...

    Sunflower Fire

    In the 40's and early 50's we used to go up to Payson every summer and always stopped (coming and going) at a little cafe at Sunflower. In those days the roads were really bad and the trip took a long time from downtown Phoenix area - and cars tended to heat up a lot. Always had a water bag...

    La Cita

    Has any one been to La Cita lately? Noticed their ad in the Rocky Point Times. From 1957 on my father had breakfast there almost every morning when he was down here. My kids would show up around 4pm for the most wonderful shrimp cocktails in the world - fresh and served in an old fashioned milk...

    Federalies?

    During the time of the summer Olympics in LA they had a road block - were looking for arms headed for the games. They were really nice and polite - petted the dog and kidded with the Grandkid. Guy next to us told them (in swear words) that there was no way they were checking HIS car! He was an...

    Best Condos on Sandy Beach to rent?

    We live at Bella Sirena full time and absolutely love it. Most everyone admits our grounds are outstanding. There are 4 pools/spas - the Azul Bar is run by Chef Luca. I know everyone raves about their staff but I'll claim top bragging rights for ours - they are fantastic. Our DS has a 2 bedroom...

    Sonoyta...Pig Pen or Rat Hole?

    Once I was driving down with DD and some of her friends (all good looking). I NEVER speed through Ajo. Got pulled over anyway. Fortunately no ticket but I think everyone I'd ever known in Penasco drove by waved.

    Construction Updates - April 2012

    Is Taco Bell really opening in Penasco? Although DH does miss it. I have to admit I do get a yen for a Big Mac or KFC, every once in a while. But years ago tacos were so much better (and cheaper) then they are now in Penasco. I like the old hard shell, shredded beef, greasy tacos of old.
