Just look at it as a boost in employment and at least one place that will put out trash cans. That'll put a smile on your Happy-Meal.  |

foods from local folks when I visit Baja........

I think that San Felipe is going to grow once the road to Hwy 1 is opened up. I think it will grow in population and with new services. I think that
SF will feed Gonzoga Bay residents. I think SF will be a jumping off point for folks to travel to the south for fishing , diving etc.

McDs tailors their menu for local tastes. In S.Korea the BigMac consists of a tofu patty covered with kimchee so I think in S.F. they will be using
carne asada covered with refried beans.

I've been hearing rumors of a movie theater in SF for a couple of years. As for Mickey D's I don't think it'll survive, hugh population decrease in
summer months. Mickey keeps track of that kind of stuff prior to allowing one of his gourmet establishments to be built. I can do without Mickey, 
I tried a Mickey Burger once while shopping in Mexicali, not bad, they cooked it to order. Wasn't under the hot lights, previously cooked.

Coors? They must be miserable. Why just stay NOB
where such items are at their fingertips. By the way,
what is an In-N-Out?

And then --------- it all started to come unglued. The final straw was the Hot Dogs. The last time I bought one and bit into it I noticed an ODD
taste. Unwrapped the foil and found a GREEN-spotted Bun. Unwrapped the second one and found the same.

Ain't that the truth. I loved those hot dogs and the hamburgers too with all the stuff to put on them until it went downhill. I was thinking it was
about the time it changed from an AM/PM to a 7 Eleven.

Rumor has it that itwill be built under the arches going into town and they are going to paint them yellow. Also, I heard, they are going to have a
Mac Grande
2 all pork chorizos
Lettuce
Salsa

Makes me remember the time I brought my Mexican American (from Fontana) cousins to La Paz, complained how bad the food was and the first chance they
had went to Burger King. Needless to say they still wonder why I keep forgeting to invite them again.

The employment aspect was not something I had not
thought of. But that aside, I think a MD's would
a visual BLIGHT on the landscape, give me the
things that remain the same, flying grocery plastic bags
pinned to fences, a few potholes, unpaved
streets, I can wait until I get back to Calexico
for a hamburger

WHAT'S AN IN-N-OUT?!!!!! come on Sancho, say it ain't so. We always head straight for the neighborhood In-N-Out burger joint when we cross the border
headed north......dt

Maybe they will do like they do in the states in small towns. Combine it with a Green Burito or some awful thing like that.
