    Tucson woman accused of gambling away $5M in embezzled funds

    I think you're a little over your ski's in you assessment of Cholla Bay. It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't so contemptuous with your off the cuff analysis.

    Tucson woman accused of gambling away $5M in embezzled funds

    Idyllwild, you seem to be a well studied individual, and always nice to hear possible solutions rather than the relentless complaints of the obvious. But brokenwave has really got it spelled out pretty clearly. The non-payment of services that he is referring to are correct, and the transition...

    Sure is very quiet around here. Anyone home?

    Heading down in a few weeks as well. Cholla's CBSC is hosting the 14th Annual golf tournament at the Islas Del Mar. Going to RP during Spring Break is one of the times I try and avoid. Although the weather will be nice, and the town will be getting some good revenue, just a little too crazy...

    AMLO is a closet commie

    Well with the Biden crime family double dipping in Russia and Ukraine, referring to them as just crooks would be selling them short.

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    If people aren't coming back to an establishment, I doubt the name of the place is the reason. What I'm curious about is if they're going to want this place to pop like The Wrecked, where is everyone going to park. I know they have that lot across the street next to the gas station, and...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Just back from a beautiful long weekend in Cholla. Boy, the weather sure was nice. And if I'm not mistaken, I think I may have had a Russ sighting filling up at a gas station in Ajo Thursday mid morning. All that aside, and what I wanted to post is that during our stay we got to spend time...

    Process of starting a business?

    It's too bad you didn't give us a little more Bio on yourself, and how familiar you are with RP. I think your best bet is to talk to some current business owners ( preferably non-nationals ) to see what the trials and tribulations they go though running a business in Mexico. And if they could...

    Any Covid restrictions & First trip in a while…

    Thought I read that the CDC is finally fessin' up that the death numbers reported didn't distinguish between people that died 'from' Covid, and people that died 'with' Covid.

    New Years Eve Rain & Power Outages

    Kind of surprised that this hasn't been brought up already. Arrived in Cholla Monday 27th, with plans to ring in the New Year at JJ's one last time before the shutdown/remodel. Mon-Tues-Wed were great days and was able to get a bunch of those "I'll get around to it" jobs completed, or made...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Man Idyllwild...sure have put a lot of thought into a place you don't live and a bar you don't own. I get it though, that's your interpretation of what would be an ideal dining experience. "Amenities meeting US dining expectations", is not why I've been going to Mexico all these years. And...

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    Much like brokenwave been going to JJ's when the barroom was the only room, had an Arcadia style door going out back on to a 10 foot square concrete pad where some cheese ball band would play on the weekends. Back in those days pretty much the only people in there were the fisherman waiting...

    Boat burning outside Cholla

    I can't remember him specifically addressing that. But what I recall him saying is that the fire went from maybe containable to out of control very quickly. He made mention that he did try to retrieve items ( phone, keys wallet, extinguisher? ) from the cabin area but the smoke was too...

    Anyone Else Notice

    How less crowded things were this weekend. Staying in Cholla and not going into RP, I can't speak for that. But from around the Cholla area to Wrecked things were sparse. Selfishly, must say I enjoyed it, especially with October being one of the best times of year to visit. The real kicker...

    Boat burning outside Cholla

    Played in the OBSC/CBSC golf tourney Saturday, and it was one of the guys that played boat. All on board got off safely, with no injury's, even a dog. Nearby boats assisted quickly. According to the guy it was some kind of gas leak, and spread quickly. Was able to radio Via to report, but...

    Credit /Debit Cards

    Just wanted to see what everyone use's for a credit card in RP. I'm just not comfortable using our Chase Bank Debit card. Would like one separate from my US banking account that can be loaded with funds then charged on until empty. Should I just be using the ones they sell at the check out...

    Super Hot in AZ...and not so hot in Rocky Point?

    To expand on some of Stuarts points of manufacturing, kinetics there's also the chemical aspect. As trailer tires do, more so than car tires, they remain dormant for extended periods of time. During that time the elastomer compounds within the tire will migrate or settle leaving portions of...

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    Looks like things are retuning back to somewhat normal. Thursday 27th, heading south arrived at the border +/-10:30am, lots of traffic from Gila Bend to Lukeville, thought I be waiting for sure. Pulled right up with only a car or two at the initial ( US side ) processing point. Remained in...

    Putting up at block wall

    No worries Russ, just bustn' your chops a little. Never got it built, just wanted to get an idea of pricing and your opinions on the lay out. We are however are looking at some demo and remodel work on the house. I'll contact you again once we're ready to move forward with that. Glad to hear...
