Mood: Luminescent Waves at Rosarito Beach

I wonder if there is some subtle effort by the TJ business community to lower rents on the still-closed shops. Any improvement in sales will be incremental. Blight is never good for business. Same for Rosarito- unless boarded up nightclubs is a new Rave thing for covert college parties? I think Jesse is onto something though- businesses coming back could (wishfully) be a signal TJ has turned the corner and deals are being made with the narcos to restore public security without hurting the flow of narco-dollars. Just like before.

There is just too much money to stop it. No one has the will to stop taking the money, so they must find a way to make it work for everyone. People would rather have the narcos make their money from moving drugs- than kidnapping and extortions against the Mexican people. I think that's just the reality for the short term, and Mexico needs a short term fix that brings security and safety before it can take the next step to eliminate the problem- if ever.

My point.

Tour operators are regulated by a bunch of authorites both NOB and SOB. They are not going to get their ticket yanked for filling seats with folks who don't meet the current US requirements.

At least that makes sense to me.

Just perhaps, there are tour companies who accept all customers, hoping that they won't get held up too long at the border.

But, bottom line is that inasmuch as the official US policy is that one must have a passport in their posession upon return, it is a significant chill on those who might consider taking a side trip to TJ.

The Long Bar, when did it close, 20 yrs. ago?
I think the story goes that a Borracho cloud relieve
himself while standing at the bar?

Thanks for the thread, Jesse. I always had faith in this great city. Have you seen the movie, "The Line?" I hope to spend some time there this summer.

Here's the latest film I rented...
