Why don't you just not go?


Why don't you just stay in TJ where you obviously belong :lol::lol::lol:

Do they really let you cross the border or do you hike through Jacumba :lol::lol::lol:


Really though- all those cruise ship passengers will love to see Baja being promoted at the same time they are being prohibited from visiting.

Not great timing either. Nothing says " honor our war vets during Memorial Day Week" like a pro-Mexico event. I don't see this event coming off as the organizers had planned. Too many negatives and uncontrolables. The Trump Baja victims will probably jump in to protest along with everyone else too.

They should have dropped the real estate hype and just made it a crafts and food event. Even then it should have been held on May 5- when nothing happens in Mexico but everyone would have been interested in San Diego. Memorial Day week? duh

Old Town San Diego has had a spanish villiage for over fifty years, with great restaurants and many craft vendors .

Why bring the Real Estate agents into it .....

This looks as if it is just another BS event to sell real estate :lol::lol::lol:

I think you missed the past few years at Old Town... The State threw out the longtime successful operator (Dianne Powers), brought in some corporate geeks from Deleware who changed everything (including the restaurants) and fired everyone. They killed the place financially and I think it is being handed over to someone else again. Leasing it for free to Baja restaurants, craftsmen and such for a few years would be a generous offer and would be much better than what is there now.

Why do you ask? Just because I post of my dislike of shady real estate deals and promotions, the general social ignorance, the rampant institutionalized corruption and a total lack of public security bordering on "failed state" deosn't mean I don't like living here. It's getting me ready for my next life in hell. :biggrin:

They were well intentioned and tried to be more authentic in their historic portrayal of life there 150 years ago. The costumes were all tunic-styled and brown instead of the vivid colors most people would associate with Mexico. Same for the shops and restaurant- historically correct but nothing exciting. It just wasn't what people wanted. There were also a lot of hurt feelings in the community. Why people tinker with success I'll never know or understand.

It all came down to money...Delaware West offered the State of California more money...plain and simple.

Could this be an unofficial replacement for our beloved Pyramid Book signing?
I think I will try and make this event... I hear there is free beer!
