Shut Up Frank's Closing ?
It is indeed a sad day in Todos Santos if this story is true...
It is reported that Shut Up Frank's , due to operational problems during Frank's absence, will be closing for the summer and hopefully Frank can
work his magek to turn it around .... he is back in town and made the decision after seeing how far it has fallen ...wishing Frank the best of luck.
CaboRon
Wonder where the Frank's crowd will be spending happy hour this summer ???

Barajas is the carnitas place, with the best carnitas in fifty miles ...... here is a picture of the maestro Ruben Vincente Higuera possibly the
best known person in Todos Santos

SUF closing...not a huge loss for the continuation of mexican culture...

We aren't talking about Mexican culture here, we are talking about gringo culture.

Spell Check............Chicharrones,
Its Papas Rellenas, In spanish the gender has to match and the adjective follows the noun.

You and pacificobob need to learn a little more before you start talking about something you may not anything about.
News Flash...Gringos are part of the Mexican culture and it sure as hell does not matter what your opinion is.
The people that meet there each day are a community within a community. A few are there most days (closed now on Sunday) most come once or twice a
week. We all meet there to plan home parties, fishing trips and get together for our birthdays...to keep up on the needs of others and rides to
Cabo/La Paz. We share a few beers, laugh and tell stories. It may be mismanaged now, but I am sure Frank will make changes...hiring in-laws is never a
good ideal.
Sorry you two got left out of the good times

I've been lurking for awhile and haven't felt the need to post. But this is truely bad news, say it ain't so. I haven't been to Frank's in years, but,
was it in the last century, I spent many hours/days there in the afternoon after getting bored waiting for surf at San Pedrito. That's gone, now
Frank's, what's left??? Ballena Bob. What's he gonna do?
Is it really closed?

I don't think Frank knows for sure, but it is a source of pride for him...his wife not so much I think. I believe she want to stay in the states more.
Without her here the in-laws have control. I am the first to admit I am guessing. Ballena Bob is my next door neighbor and when we last talked he does
not know more then I. I understand the place is up for sale and I have heard figures of $100,000 up...again everyone is guessing. There are a couple
of people that would be great there (one putting up his own money, until Frank could return) and understand how important clean restrooms are. Maybe
there are good things on the horizon

I don't particularly like Franks, it is a drain on my budget...I would prefer my pacifico at home, on a bike ride or shore fishing. As a 2 hour
meeting place it is fine.

Al G-
I've been digging Peace and Loaf Bakery (M/W/Sat) and La Esquina Cafe
for the similar purposes you mentioned - Gringo hangout hour / meetups etc..-
All good, different spots, different crews, different styles, its all
about good times with friends, old and new

Vivaloha,
I guess you must be aloha because Peace and Loaf closed up for the summer , although La Esquina is keeping some hours over the "slow" season
....
And Shut Up Franks provides a little bit of home town neighborhood beach/sports bar that is especially important to those of us who are here year
round, or who just want a taste of home.
CaboRon
BTW : I think it really sucks that Peace and Loaf abandons us for half the year.
