The Baja Review
By Barbara Keller
"The Baja Review is a new publication for our area. it's a hard copy, print on paper newspaper with no breaking news. It's published once a month
around the 28th. The focus is Good restaurants, Wineries, Hotels, Music, Outdoor life, Events, and Community. My agenda is to inform, comfort and
encourage the english speaking ex-pats living here, to support and stimulate the Mexican economy, and in time, to reach and reassure the folks
contemplating tourism in northern Baja. There was a great web site, but it was vandalized and destroyed so I must start over.
For 18 months I worked as the volunteer editor-in-chief for the Baja News. it was a great opportunity and I enjoyed helping. In December I gave
notice, and in January I began this new adventure.
I have some excellent writers, Tom Gatch, of Hooked on Baja fame, is doing the fishing column and a restaurant review column. Carla White, a local
wine expert, is doing the wine column, Dave Kamena, who does the "outside edge" column for Baja Times, is doing a remodel column for us. Bob Yourell,
of the local news in English on cable TV, does an occasional interesting column on Mexican customs it's helpful to know. We have a Surf column by the
young and passionate Ross Armenta. Bunny Wingate, a funny, cheerful soul does some food reviews and occasional other columns for our entertainment.
Bobby Foster and Hanunah Ross, the fascinating couple who brought us doo wop music from Las Vegas have agreed to do a quarterly column on music and
happenings around here. Sometimes I have a classical music review - none at the moment so the job is open if you're interested.
If you have something to send me that fits generally into the categories we focus on, you are welcome, less that 500 words please and nothing scary or
contentious. Ads are cheap, $3 a square inch. Call me 646 155 0581 or email at barbara.keller3@gmail.com with questions or submissions.
Because I'm good at creating and editing the paper but not so good at distributing the 6000 copies, I have set up a system I hope will work.
Following are the places the papers will be dropped in bulk. Please feel free to go and pick up one for yourself, or 30 for your housing development,
or business, or cafe, or club meeting, or dance group. I really wish I could take them all over. It's more genial, and it's easier for you. But I
just can't. Thanks for understanding and for looking around for one to read and some to share. Yours, Barbara Keller.

The Baja Review
Hi! I live 1,500 miles away. However, I am very interested in learning more about life in Baja, particularly about the music scene. Will there also
be an online edition? I hope it goes well for you.
Thanks,
Stonevendor

When you say 'our area' do you mean all Baja California, or the Ensenada region mainly?
Thanks!

David's question was a good one
Too many people think that Baja Sur starts right after the first toll booth at TJ Playas.
Most so-called "Baja" publications end at the Baja Country Club.

Sounds alot like this on-line publication:
mexicomyspace.ning.com/
and the main dude's words: I'm George Puckett. Some of you may know that I promote Mexico almost exclusively.
I haven't been around for a while because I've been working on a new website. It's not finished yet but I will give you the information now. It is
a Question and Answer website focusing on Mexico.Please visit the website from time to time. There may be some questions that you can help with. Real
Estate agents might pick up some buyers and restaurant & B&B owners might pick up some patrons.
