............The second Pemex gas station in the village was open for business. The electrical power line to Bahia de los Angeles reached the 19-kilometer point from Highway Mex 1 at Punta Prieta. "Soon it will be here and according to the Escalera Nautica people the tourists will be pouring in once the power comes to town," Vazquez said.

I got this email not too long ago:


....Martha's gas station is open and doing a brisk business, she already sold out her magna sin, she has attendants to pour your gas, and with uniforms, first class.
No more work on the booooolevad but some work on the electric poles coming down the hill. Villa Vita put up big signs along the beach by Memo Smiths all the way to Nassas house that says private property and served notice for all the Mexicans to get out, They served Sergio that his gas station is on their property but they would sell him the lot cheap...

So Bahia turns.

Paulina: I don't know nothing 'bout nothing but I sure as heck would make sure that I owned the land before I invested $100,000 or whatever a Pemex costs. How does this stuff happen????

Paulina - 5-14-2007 at 09:10 PM

Santiago, I would tend to agree with you. Allegedly when the owner of Villa Vita died, his grown children didn't see eye to eye with their father's wishes or land use ideals.
More of that email.

".........from the Villa Vita told me years ago that he owned all that property but he didnt care that the locals were squating but now hes dead and his kids have taken over and they are hard hearted."

I believe that the owner of Villa Vita was Jim Bracamonte of "Jim's Air", the fixed base operator at Lindberg Field in San Diego. Apparently his kids own it now???

I know that this was true many years ago as I worked for Jim and Marge Bracamonte on their flight line, and learned to fly there.

Interesting that the "kids" (they must be in their '50's now) would take this "attitude".

Hmmmmmmmm????

why wouldn't they simply offer to JV with them now as partners on the gas deal and make their cut for "leasing" the dirt all these years??

seems like the way to make peace and everyone gets to keep going??
