If that's the case, then all the girls working downtown should move out to boystown. That would solve everybody's problems.

Walking into Nuevo Laredo is easy, walking back can be busy on Holidays, other than that no problem except early in the morning when everybody is going to work.

As far as mongering goes, downtown...

No question about it, DiDi is the best there is, much cheaper than Uber and you can pay in cash. I can't wait till they come to the US. Sometimes the drivers are hot young chicks too, at least in...

Ley Seca will be enforced in Nuevo Laredo this weekend because of the elections. That means no alcohol is supposed to be sold from Friday June 4 at midnight till Sunday June 6 at midnight. Don't know...

You get the visa (FMM) at Bridge 2; it's a short walk from Bridge 1, or if you are in a hurry, just take a cab.

I was there last Friday night. It was dead. Keep working on it, bro.

Was planning a short trip down to NL this weekend when I saw some rumors on the internet that we may be looking at a military government in the US starting some time this week. Don't know how this is...

I'll buy you a beer in one of those restaurant / bars.

Just heard rumors that all the bars in Nuevo Laredo will be reopening starting tonight, Thursday Nov. 19.

Greyhound has 7-8 buses a day each way from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey, very cheap:

Most, if not all of Camino Real hotels in Mexico are open, you book on their...

Agree that the infrastructure in Mexico is not best, as is the case in most third world countries, but I think that the bad water, bad food, lack of sanitation, no heat or hot water in winter, no air...

Thanks for the info DramaFree11. I am going down to NL this weekend, but my favorite hotel, the City Express, is closed as are a few others, and I need to find another one. What hotel did you stay...

Nuevo Leon could be next:

I wonder if any of those flea bags in downtown NL are still open. The last one I stayed at a couple of weeks ago, "El Cheapo", was crawling with bed bugs. Hadn't been there in years, never going back...

Good to see you back, Zygo, Greyhound still has 4 buses a day from SA to Monterrey and back. Turimex is totally closed down. Omex has 5 buses a day to Monterrey. You can get their schedules off the...

I know that. I was just speculating on whether they closed it for good, or for only a few weeks. Time will tell. Anyhow it was great while it lasted: great location, great pricing, great food, and...

My favorite hotel in Nuevo Laredo, the City Express, right next to the Greyhound station on Lopez de Lara, and a 15 minute walk from Boystown, is closed down completely. Until further notice? I doubt...

Just be aware that in Laredo TX, before you cross, you're going to need to have some kind of face mask; saw somewhere that if you don't have one they could fine you up to $1000.

Thanks for the update Bbond. You really have to wonder why they are closing down all these bars for minor infractions. Jarochos will probably be next.

Was in NL this weekend. None of the Africans who have been so visible over the past few months were there. They used to sleep on the bridge and panhandle in the streets. Some seem to have made it to...

Can't make it tonight, but maybe next weekend. I've forgotten already what the deal is for Cinco de Mayo. Is Ley Seca going to be observed in NL next Fri and Sat, May 3 and 4?

And thanks for the...

Agree with you on that, the guy just stopped at a punto de venta to pick up a rock. As for the kids on bikes, the vendedores are often very young, and the bicycle is their preferred means of...

Route 11 of the Laredo City Bus System, El Metro, goes from the downtown transit center to the airport:

I read 'them, Zygo.

ROTFLMAO. I can remember one time a few years ago when I was walking back from Mexico to the US, and Bridge 1 had its old configuration with several pedestrian lines at the checkpoint outside right...
