puerto nuevo has always been trashy restaurant row with peddlers selling craptastic tourist trinkets.

the sale of pot will improve the place - the town will be more enjoyable with a buzz on, and buzzed restaurant patrons will buy more food.

sounds like the change is a win-win!

Aren't just about all the restaurants there owned by the same folks? Various levels of ambience.

Just remember that although we have eaten there many times over the years, our last visit was somewhat late in the evening, and we were just about the only visitors there.

Don't recall the name of the restaurant that's three stories high, but we walked in and all the help was just sitting around. We were their only customers.

Seems to me that the combination of the passport requirement and the bad publicity about the cartels and crime has caused a precipitous drop-off in business there.

I seem to recall a time when I had trouble finding a parking space. When there last October, I could have pee'd in the middle of the street and no one would have seen it.

So, necessity being the mother of invention, why should anyone be shocked that the locals have taken to drug sales?

They're not selling much of that crappy fried lobster these days.

If it was mota sales, no one would be complaining.
