Joe, there are some newspaper articles about the Brown's, in Tucson's paper and the Republic.
Danny Brown was my neighbor in Cholla and built my places, his place was across the road from mine. Danny died in 2005 or 07.
The big white house on Pinto Point, Danny started building for his family, but was sold to a gringo in 2001, a good story about that.
Gus jr. still lives in Cholla and there's Aron/Benji Brown who has a place just past Ramon's store which recently closed.
Gus Sr. had 4-5 son's and 1-2 daughter's.
There's lot's stories about them, some good and some a bit on the shady side.
They all treated me fair and when Danny built my places, he did what I paid him to do. So I have no complaints about them.

Corruption at its finest: Corruption continues in Puerto Peñasco, now they charge 100 pesos per person to enter the beaches
Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, September 18, 2020.- Again there are complaints from tourists who visit this port, now a person claims that when he wanted to enter "Playa Bonita" a policeman prevented him access stating that "it was already closed by excess of people, if they want to pass they will have to pay 100 pesos per person ".
:
"GOOD AFTERNOON!
This weekend we made a trip to Puerto Peñasco with a group of friends (always taking hygiene rules) we wanted to go to "Playa Bonita" since it is touristy and where most of them always go there. It was somewhat surprising and disappointing at the same time (since I am from that beautiful city) they put public security to be able to enter said beach (which is good for "security"). The moment we wanted to walk in, a policeman stopped us saying: " young man the beach is already closed due to too many people if they want to pass they will have to pay 100 pesos per person "(the beach was not full) and I look like WTF? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CHARGE A TICKET TO A PUBLIC BEACH ... it is the first time that I have been denied entry to a beach and also that they want to charge me as if it were the cover of a club.

PUERTO PEÑASCO.- With an investment of 1,200 million pesos, a project will start in Puerto Peñasco of three Dubai-type towers that will be built by an investor from Guadalajara, reported Jorge Vidal Ahumada, Secretary of the Economy.
He pointed out that the structures of the first tower are already in place, and it will be inaugurated in April; while the second is in the foundations, which is a sample of what is being bet on this sector.
He said he is convinced that the pandemic and the fears of traveling long distances will greatly cut passenger traffic and there will be no other destination than what is safe and close, and this represents the state of Sonora.

I have been hearing this a lot lately. It's usually announced on the radio La Reyna Del Mar. Last week they said an american"s car was stolen. A month or so ago a truck was taken from Ley Express in the middle of the day. There was another incident where a couple in a store parking area were taken at knife point with their vehicle and were dropped off unharmed.
Vehicle theft continues in Puerto Peñasco, today another was stolen
> Along the Lázaro Cárdenas, Marcelo Pino and Lucero Viuda de Morúa avenues
> The victim reported the incident on social media

Who know's what is real and what's rumors about the Brown's.
Below is some of what I heard, witnessed and read in the late 80's and 90's
There are many stories about the Brown's including the relative of Gus Sr. Shooting the husband
of a woman whom he later married that controlled/owned the Sandy Beach/Cholla land.
Original tract of land including Sandy Beach and Cholla was to be used for animal grazing.
There were some colorful news articles in the 1970's and 80's about this.
My wife's Dad had, on his Cholla garage wall many clippings about the Brown's,
but these were tossed when he sold his Cholla home in late 90's.
The Browns do have a ranch in Chihuahua Mexico, there was an article in a Tucson paper about Gus Jr.
having a jet plane seized by the DEA around 1980.
There's other articles about threatening to remove 300 people from their homes in Cholla in the early 1990's
for failure to pay rent on their land they were leasing from Sandy Beach Rental, some of my neighbor's were involved in that.
That was an interesting time to be in Cholla because you either disliked the Brown's or liked them, sorta like today's
upcoming presidential election, same type of heated arguments and opinions happened back then.
A number of people were evicted from their homes who lost their lawsuit contending the Brown's didn't own the
land in Cholla and Sandy Beach, which the Mexican courts said he did.
All they had to do was purchase the land from the Brown's with paid up past due rent and the problem was solved.
In many cases the amount to fix this was $10-30K.
There are a number of water front places that were taken around the 4 Aces and on Pelican Pt because people didn't
have the $$ or chose to leave their places behind out of spite, some were sold and the new owners discovered they
were suddenly liable to pay off the Brown's for the land. Lot's of crooked deals back then.
Mexico was an interesting place to buy and sell property before the Bank Trusts became available.

A shrimp boat sunk in the harbour today, if they cannot contain the oil and diesel spill there goes the beaches close by.
Notipenasco Facebook reported more than 40,000 liters of fuel being spilled

Fishing boat "Guillermo Munro" sinks in the port area of Puerto Peñasco
* Semar takes actions to contain oil spill
The fishing vessel named “Guillermo Munro”, with registration number 2601025923-2, sank in the waters of the port area this morning, Monday, September 21, without the appearance of injured persons, but the oil spill did.
Faced with the oil spill from the machines and between 600 and 1,000 liters of diesel, personnel from the Secretary of the Navy, Harbor Master and Semarnat went to the scene to assess the situation and proceed to carry out actions to contain the spilled hydrocarbons, to in order to prevent these from spreading and causing further environmental damage.
It should be noted that at the time of the sinking of the boat, it was loaded with the minimum of fuel, as it was barely programmed to fill it with diesel, so the spill of this fuel was minimal compared to what could have been spilled.
A group of fishermen who were in the docks area joined together to support the containment and maneuvering efforts to try to get the fishing boat afloat.

1.2 B pesos is around USD 6 million. It will cost more than that for mordida.
The first tower has 20+ stories of steel in place. I’ll post a pic if I think of it tomorrow.
They were very busy this past week. Lots of stories on social media, but this one was reported to Penasco Diario.
Police in Puerto Peñasco continue to ask for "mochada", tourists denounce
Here the full text:
PULLED OVER IN ROCKY POINT !!
On Saturday the 18th my husband was pulled over by Mexican police after leaving our resort. It was my husband and another male occupant. He pulled over to the side of road, turned on his cab light to find his mask to go into Banditos. When he pulled back on road he saw lights in rear view mirror. My husband asked what he did and the response was “have you been drinking” my husband had only one beer earlier in the day. They went through both their wallets, checked whole truck and frisked them both. They mutually decided on 80 bucks. We are in their country I get it but when you literally have not broke any laws it sucks to turn over 80 bucks. When you leave your resort carry as little money as possible. If my husband would of told them he would go to court and take care of it, they wouldn’t of gotten any money. They were very nice and respectful but 80 bucks is 80 bucks.

The problems people are having with the lack of water in their houses and businesses is because Penasco does not have the resources for maintenance. They do not have the money to keep up equipment repairs. "The director of OOMAPAS, Kiko Munro's brother-in-law does not understand the inconvenience caused to the people by having them without a vital resource such as water."
Quoted from www.facebook.com/penascazo/
PUERTO PEÑASCO.- The low collection in the payment of water, non-compliance of delinquent, influential or recommended users, lack of resources for maintenance are part of the problems faced by the water utilities in the municipalities.
In a virtual meeting where the initiative to reform the Water Law and the State Law of Responsibilities was socialized, the deputy president of the Water Commission, Miguel Ángel Chaira, spoke with the directors of the organizations.
Municipalities such as Agua Prieta, Caborca, Cajeme, Puerto Peñasco, Naco, Ures, Huatabampo, Magdalena, among others, were some of those that exposed their problems.
Debts dragged by various administrations, overdue millionaire portfolios and a low collection of less than 50% are part of the problems.
In the case of Huatabampo, the director of the operating agency, Francisco Monroy, explained that in this Municipality they carry a debt of 15 million pesos to Infonavit, five million to the IMSS, in addition to having a collection of just 40%.

What's next??? Sounds very profitable at those prices....
Posted on Puerto Penasco Fans and Community Facebook
The locals in Sonoyta are “escorting” trucks and cars to cut the border line. They are driving on the shoulder with traffic vests on and waving flags.
People are paying on average $45.00 US Dollars and up for this service to avoid the long waits they are still having on certain days and times. The locals are working with the police and said they only get to keep $5.00 US Dollars and the police get the rest.
