Convention Center

[mexicoruss]

A little birdy tells me something interesting about the cruise liners and home port.... There goes the race track Russ!

Well that is all fine and good, the race track already has plans to be moved if and when the home port uses the marina. It will still be in the Sandy Beach area but I dont see anything happening for a while. Things are shaping up down here folks, its been long enough and I think there will be more than a few changes in the next 12 months. Pom Pom away

Great it will be another half finished building just like the so called movie theatre and hotels all over town for the tourist to look at.

Sure would be nice if the city made the builders provid a completion bond instead of having all of the unfinished projects that look so bad. It would also stop the bad raps on RP about the Condo rip offs.

Drove by where we believe the Convention Center is being built today - Dec 26. There were several trucks and some men - mounds of dirt - stakes with flags and a large smoth area (where the stakes were). Most definately a large area. So something has started.

Haven't seen any activity at Esmeralda (except for cranes being in different positions upon occasion) or at Casa Blanca - but gates seems open and more cars parked there.

Hope everyone had a Great Christmas and that the New Year is going to bring an economic upswing to Penasco for everyone.

Lots and lots of stuff in the works and it should be a better year this year. 2011 was better than 2010 maybe 2012 is the new start? Just hoping!

I remember someone else mentioning that the cranes arms have moved etc... The S.O.P., maintenance of cranes like that would call for the arms to move, and the steel rope to be serviced as well. There a very expensive piece of equipment, and if they don't want them to become inoperable because of the salt, they had better be doing it.

Bill--you are so correct. I can not think of another place more suited for a VERY LARGE performance bond requirement than RP

That unfinished project East Of Playa Encanto is Playa Azull? About 5 stories of concrete. There are two finished units on the first floor West end. All lighted up, painted with blinds in place and sone guy sitting on his balcony. We seen it when we were out on a quad ride.

Probably a squatter.

It was an American guy and his truck was parked under the first floor.

What's up with the house in this pic? Is it finished?

Probably one of the poor bastards that paid for a unit and got screwed out of it! Let's take him some beer!

I talked to an American lady with some kids who were using the house a while back. She acted as if everything was just fine and had no observations to make about the rest of the project. It seemed a bit surreal at the time.
