El Pescadero. Dare we call it anti-Cabo?
''These fields of produce are nearly all under contract; they are contractually bound to sell their crops to large produce importers in the United
States. These contracts are signed before the seeds even hit the dirt. Most of the farmers have been organized into Mexican co-ops by Mexicans, who
make these deals with the Americans. This is why it’s so hard to find good produce here; the good stuff is trucked north while the runty food is
left behind.''
Carrie is wrong and doesn't live here. If she did she'd know produce, grown locally, is available everywhere.
''This town is definitely the home of independent people, as there is only one housing development, aptly named Pueblo Pescadero. The houses start at
around $260,000 and are mostly sold out. It’s a smallish development of about 40 two and three bedroom homes. If you don’t want the headaches of
building your own home, and want the piece of mind of knowing how your home was built, this is a good option. Well, it’s your only option in this
sleepy part of Baja called El Pescadero. There will be no danger of it changing in our lifetime.''
''There will be no danger (of Pesky) changing in our lifetime.'' Pesky is changing everyday. I think it's for the better.

I so agree with Lee, every time we briefly stop by Pescadero, it has changes and all for the better! Such a beautiful town that seems to be
blossoming into an even more charming town.

It's a weird, meandering article. The author even contradicts herself, correcting those who call the pueblo "El Pescador" and then using the incorrect
phrase herself a few paragraphs later. Is she paying Pesky a compliment ("Pretty much nothing happens in Pescadero, it’s just people quietly living
the Mexican experience") or telling her readers to stay away, touting Pueblo Pescadero as "your only option"? It's hard to tell what her intent is
beyond confusing people.
It reads as if her only Pescadero experience was brief, and probably less than positive. I don't live there, but even I know that fresh produce is
available at Agricole and the Sunday Farmers' Market at Baja Beans. There are probably more options than that if one bothers to look for them.
I agree that Pescadero is changing for the better. It's why I keep coming back, and why I look forward to the day when I can stay for longer than a
week.

You caught that too. El Pescador? She had to be drinking, heavily. To be so obviously wrong in these comments is just puzzling.
Her comment about Cindy at the Oasis is on the mark though. Lots of people agree with the speed through town as bad. Use to be topes here
starting on the edge of town going S. When the road was redone, I immediately thought ''where the hell are the topes?''
Obviously those in power feel differently. Too bad.

I had heard that four-lane highways in Mexico could not have topes, but I have a hard time believing that. One would think that there's a happy medium
between suspension-busters and useless cardboard cop cars.
