General Reports

[Sol12]

Planning to visit La Cueva Del Peludo when I visit in April. Will write a report after.

Seems to be few if any reports on the club on here. Hotel room is listed as much cheaper than HK Cascadas.

Not sure how long your visiting but you might want to check out Deja Vu also since it seems to be modeled more like HK were LCDP I would say is something like TB.

The Deja Vu website has a coupon for no cover as long as you don't arrive in a taxi or Uber since they have to pay a commission. If you do need a ride I'the just have the car drop you at Pueblo Amigo and walk over.

Mouzone,

Very astute observations.

She looked and sounded like a very nice Caucasian with proper upbringing, not Latina. She may not be a deportee but possibly hooked up with a guy that got deported who quickly moved to La Zona to hang with his cartel contacts, so she moved with him.

Now he's screwing her everyday, saddling her with a baby, sending her out to La Zona to work.

A lot of girls are naive, stupid, crazy in love, get fucked, worked, used, abused then dumped by bastards.

Saturday afternoon I was walking back to Rizo, carrying a heavy load of mariscos and beers for lunch.

A tall, nice, clean young, light-skinned woman was pushing a stroller with a baby, crossing Coahuila towards the Church of the Ethel. Along the way she pleaded with mongers lining the street to buy gums. Nobody responded. They just ignored her.

When she got on the sidewalk, she stopped down, sighed and said to the baby in clear English "Everybody says no!" She looked and talked like a young American. I already walked past her with the heavy load, but turned around, gave her a couple bucks, said "Good luck to you. " She said " Thank you. ".

Felt so sad for her. If I was not carrying food for wingmen, I would have stayed longer to find out what happened to her. Damn sad.

Good chance she's a deportee, IMO. Technically born in Mexico but was raised in the United States until, for whatever reason, she got deported. Every once in a while you run into deported folks down in Zona Norte. Some work as meseros, club and hotel staff, etc.

My take has always been it's not necessarily the Spanish-speaking native Mexicans you have to worry about down there. In all my years going down to Tijuana I've never had a problem with any of them, they tend to be chill, laid-back, and hard-working. The Mexicanos living down there who speak clear English, sometimes even with no trace of an accent, those are the ones you SOMETIMES have to worry about, LOL. In particular the ones who hang in and around Zona Norte. A lot of them are deportees and there's quite often a not-so-nice reason they've been deported.

Meanwhile, in the US in 2023 there were 630 mass shootings and 39,938 gun deaths "USA Hits a gruesome mass killing milestone.

There have been 630 mass shootings so far this year, 38 of which involved four or more deaths, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

With more than three weeks left in the year, 2023 has set a gruesome gun violence record for the USA.

According to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), which tracks incidents of gun violence across the country, there have been 38 mass killings involving guns this year, defined as shootings in which four people or more are killed, not including the shooter. The number of mass killings this year is higher than in any year since at least 2006, The Washington Post reported.

GVA altogether recorded 630 mass shootings in which at least four people were shot (killed or injured, excluding the shooter) in 2023. In the past nine years, only 2021 and 2022 had more mass shootings than this year (to date).

Here are more grim statistics from 2023, according to GVA's tally (as of Dec. 5 at the time of publication):

1,571 minors under 18 years old have been shot and killed.

39,939 gun deaths, almost two-thirds of them suicides.

34,087 gun injuries.

Mass shootings are a uniquely American phenomenon. They take place in homes, supermarkets, places of worship, movie theaters, nightclubs, workplaces, concerts, college campuses and schools.

They are also an increasingly common part of childhood in America. Children from as young as preschool age are put through active shooter drills and trained on lockdown procedures in the event of a shooting. These drills have been found to have a profound impact on children's mental health, and experts often dispute how well they protect students, especially in the absence of more stringent gun laws, more proactive safety measures and competent law enforcement responses.

Meanwhile, efforts to limit access to guns an obvious and crucial factor in reducing mass shootings have repeatedly been rejected by lawmakers, the vast majority of them Republicans. Legislation to enact stricter gun reform measures has failed, over and over, at both the state and federal level. And research has shown that in states with GOP-majority legislatures, mass shootings can lead to an increase in laws that loosen gun restrictions. ".

Mass shootings are just part of the charm of living in America. It makes shopping for watermelon that much more exciting.

Maybe it is similar to the thinking in Mexico. When there is an auto accident. Nobody move the cars, wait until the investigation is complete.

If you look at the picture, the military is just standing around while this guy has duct tape on him. It looks like the guy can just put his hand on his face and take the tape off himself.

[WombatEd2]

Can anyone give me any feedback on the Motel Paraiso?

I've heard it's cheaper than La Mansion or Premier, and a lot closer to the Zona.

[StRobert]

Did you guys read about this kidnapping in Tulum. Someone tells police they see a taxi kidnap a guy. The Mexican police and army do a search and find him in a remote jungle and then when the guy says take the duct tape off his eyes and feet, the police tell him to wait until the prosecutors get here to take it off. Huh. Maybe you guys can explain.

Thought it might be a good idea to create a post / discussion of all the hotel options within Zona Norte.

1. Hotel Cascadas, Hong Kong, $85 weekdays & $110 weekends.

2. Hotel Rizo de Orzo, Tropical Bar, $85 weekdays & $110 weekends.

3. Chicago Club Group Hotels. Hotel Jalos, Chicago Club and Hotel Garcia and Hotel La Carreta. Prices unknown.

4. Hotel Velario, prices vary, no attached club.

Last time I had some issues crossing the border: PwedWest was closed and the PedEast line was many hours long, so I ended up crossing the border at Otay and Ubering to the airport (the taxi ride to the Otay crossing cost me $30, and Uber cost me $60, so this little detour cost me $90! I'm planning to leave Tijuana on Wednesday morning. How would you guys recommend I proceed? What time should I check out of HK? I think my flight leaves San Diego around 1 pm. TIA.

PedWest is back open again. If you are crossing this upcoming Wednesday the line should be very short with the chance of rain. Even without the rain if you arrive at 9 am it shouldn't be more than 20 min, when I checked the wait time today (Friday) at 9:30 am it was 5 minutes.

Pockets in Zona Rio is great. Triangulo is decent and Deja Vu has like 2 tables and so does Amnesia. Guys complain about lady drinks in HK, Amnesia I think lady drinks were like $20 or something outrageous. I'm sure they a few more spots, but Pockets is more pool hall while the others are more sports bars with tables. They have and old pool hall in Centro, but mostly older crowd and older tables. If you're bored, then always try Batbox at Paseo Chapultepec that has baseball cages and even virtual golf range with games. Bol bol is bowling, but a little further than the pool halls. I can't recall other things to do off the top of my head, but I'm sure plenty more things to do in Tijuana than just banging sexworkers.

Triangulo was empty around 5 PM. AC was off and so was really cold inside. It was just us. Tables are nice but price of table and beer is a bit on the higher side. Did not like it was cold. Will try pockets next time.

Yadiras mentioned below by others was closed night and day and only opened on Wed after 8 PM. Was cold as hell there too. No music, just us and no one else. We played one game and left. We went to Ricardo's next door, the grand slam we ate there was excellent.

The Chinese restaurant across the street from Ricardo's called Asian tasty was a joke. They gave us a dried up pile of brown rice and some dried rubbery pile of meat.
