Ciudad Juarez - 2003 Reports

SeattleGym:

With regards to your questions on Viagra, I only buy it in Juarez as I would need a doctor's prescription in the US. You have two options in Mexico: to buy the generic brand or one that is made by Pfizer. For a 100 mg version, the generic brand costs about $100 pesos at a pharmacy on the corner of Lerdo and Tlaxcala. If you buy the Pfizer version, it generally will cost you $150 to $200 pesos. There is a pharmacy at the Rio Grande Mall that sells 100 mg for $120 pesos.

The only difference that I see between the generic and the Pfizer version is that I have less flank pain with the pills made by Pfizer. I guess my renal system cannot tolerate the generic version that well.

Just a little misunderstanding. No big deal. I'm would much rather contribute my hard-earned dollars to one of the more reputable pimps anyway. Forgot to mention that I went by both the Colorado and Panama in the afternoon yesterday. Zero customers, but the selection of girls was actually pretty good. I know a lot of you guys don't care for those two places, but I've always enjoyed myself.

How in the hell did you become persona non grata in a dump like Laura's? Seems to be a story there somewhere. Welcome to the club though. I am banned for a lifetime from Club Panama. (you can see the tears all over this post if you look clise enough)

Went over yesterday, and the extra police presence didn't seem to be a problem for the hobbyist. I asked around and could never get a straight answer as to the exact reasons for the increased security. I'm guessing that the US policy of deporting wets to Mexican towns bordering Texas has something to do with it, along with the usual Narco wars, of course. Whatever the reasons, they didn't give me any trouble as I bounced around el centro for most of the day and night.

Couple of girls to report on. Went to Genesis MP around 2PM. Only 4 gordas to choose from. Went with Crystal with the pretty face and nice rack. Big mistake. She was pretty from the boobs up, but was obsessed with extra safe sex. We did multiple pos. after a decent massage, but she kept holding onto the condom the whole time. I kept telling her to let go of my tool, but she wouldn't let go and gave me the spacer treatment the whole time. Then she kept asking if I had finished and checking the condom for my load. I'm a clean cut guy, but she acted like I had just flown in from leper island. Safe sex is one thing, but this girl was a waste of time and money.

Went to Laura's a couple days ago and met Magaly. 26, petite, 5 kids, nice cute girl. She gave me her hard-luck story about being divorced recently and having to work there to support her kids and even shed a tear. She had been there only 2 weeks and hated it. I'm guessing she was there looking for a husband or at least a meal ticket. Anyways we had a really nice time with multiple pos, gfe, finishing with BBBJ. This girls is very sweet with one of the best butts I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I've become persona non grata at Laura's, so one of you guys will have to carry the torch with her.

BorderJumper Writes: "Get used ti it. They're here to stay for awhile, thank god. We have the same ting over here in Nuevo Laredo. Here, we're losing 1 or 2 cops a day to "El Chapo" and other Narcotrafficantes and Mexico City is fed up with it. "

Their presence is just fine by me, too...

Especially considering the low life I saw getting arrested on the side streets in el centro.

The one humorous aspect about the weekend, though, was the hundred or so plainclothesmen on Avenida Juarez. I only saw two, but my storekeeper friend said they had been sitting outside and had noticed about hundred of them.

They are pretty much all tall, dress like Americans, and have these stylish haircuts hardly ever seen in Juarez. They might as well have just put their uniforms back on they were so obviously from somewhere else.

But, like I say, they pose no danger to me, and I'm all for cleaning up el centro...

Also, BorderJumper, would you send me an email to elk_dreamer@hotmail.com? I've lost your email.

Hello All,

Quick question, do you buy your Viagra before you get to town, or wait until your in Juarez to purchase it? If in town where would you recommend?

As an aside (not that I'm judging), but I think that I would pass on the midget. That's not to say I'm a prude and would pass on some anal or face painting.

Guys;

Get used ti it. They're here to stay for awhile, thank god. We have the same ting over here in Nuevo Laredo. Here, we're losing 1 or 2 cops a day to "El Chapo" and other Narcotrafficantes and Mexico City is fed up with it.

We recently had a mmajor shootout at in major intersection here in town between the cops and military and some narcos resulting in 3 deaths by bazooka (no shit) of the Narcos and the arrest of a high profile Federal Prosecutor who was leading these hit men out of town when stopped/

Our entire Police force was suspended for close to a month without pay pending drug tests and background investigations. In the end, 80 lost their jobs and we have a more professional Police force now it seems.

We've got the Federal officers in our neighborhoods over here cleaning up the bad guys and I believe that this time they're serious. The drug problem is pervasive the length of the border, from Matamoros to Tijuana.

If you het a chance to talk to some of these guys, they're pretty nice people it seems. Dedicated to their jobs and paid well enough to be the least corruptible in Mexico.

I don't know who they were - but as I was walking toward Lerdo and the dentist office soon after walking across the bridge, I saw a number, 7-10, of neatly attired young rifle-toting hombres standing on the sidewalk. I just kept walking past them without even so much as a "con permiso".

But I'm the type of person, right or wrong, who feels a little bit safer after seeing some police nearby. I know this may be an incorrect position in Juarez or Mexico in general - but, nevertheless, when I was a kid, I envisioned the Mexicans in border towns as having dirty, greasy, slimy looking hombres who would most likely cut your throat for cinco pesos as not. And to see these cops neatly dressed and very physically fit - well, it was different than my initial visions of the greasy border town hombres as I mentioned.

Anyway, I wonder what's up with the "new" guests in town. Has this something to do with more pressure on the Juarez seniority murders investigations???

I didn't see them bothering anyone except in el centro either. What got me really curious is why if they were at places like on Calle Panama and Insurgentes, which are pretty good neighborhoods, what was their real purpose? Like you say, away from downtown, everywhere I saw them they were chatting among themselves and with the cops.

[Rat Fink]

my understanding was that prostitution was legal in mx under certain controlled circumstances. i this truly the case? and if so what are the cases where it isn't legal? (**** and streetwalking i know)

[Sun Devil]

So what is the scoop? Are they going to stop guys from going to the bars in the red light districts, search them, or ask for their IDs? This thing happened in Nuevo Laredo once and the Federales went in to Papagayos to see the IDs of some of the girls but did not touch any of the clients. Hopefully the same thing will happen Juarez. I did see a couple of Federales with automatic rifles on the corners of Panama and Insurgente as well as that of V. Guerrero and Montes de Oca. They didn't bother anybody one bit and just pretty much hung out and chit chatted among themselves.

[DreamingEagle]

Learned this weekend that there are 1,200 additional federal troops and Federales in the city. I had already seen dozens and dozens of soldiers on corners on the major streets and lots of shiny black federal pick-up trucks on patrol. There are also lots of plain clothes guys milling around the downtown area. A merchant friend in Ave. Juarez told me they are there to crack down on drugs and prostitution. They present no problem to me, but I would suggest anyone who likes to hang in el centro be a little more careful than usual while they are here.

I nearly shit last night. I cruised by the Hollywood and saw a midget. Thats right, a genuine midget. She was having a drink with some monger. Talk about sick. I bet she cashes in on the freak factor. How much would you pay for a midget if given the opportunity? This is something I need time to think about. True story guys.

There are plenty of parking lots by the Santa Fe bridge where you walk over. Two of the lots have high fences so you can't miss them.


After crossing into Juarez all you have to do is walk straight for about 5 or 6 blocks, make a right, make another right and you are at Alice and Charly's,(Fausto's). You will pass Martino's restaurant, the Kentucky Club and another little restaurant called the Coyote. The next business you see will be the Benavides Pharmacy. Continue waking south until you see an optical shop. There will be a guy there in front of the optical store selling cigarettes. There is a walkway there with a statue of a horse. Make a right,walk to the end of of the walkway,about 20 yards, make another right and you will find the entrace to Alice and Charly's.

Just go in, kick back, order a beer and enjoy the show.

Imtheman1:

Here is how to get to the 2 bars mentioned. As you walk into Mexico you will be on Avenida Juarez. Walk past all the kiddie bars for a few blocks until you come to an open plaza to your right. Walking time 4 minutes. This is the Plaza de la Mariachi. Take a right here. The next street is Mariscal. You will see The Las Vegas across the street to your right. As you are about to go in look to your right and you will see Queens Place. Behind you will be The Hollywood.

Do yourself a favor and explore all that Juarez has to offer. A gringo can walk safely down Mariscal street as far as 16 de Septiembre. The last bar on your left will be the Las Palmeras.

Another bar to try is Rancho Grande. This place will be to your left on the other corner of the same block as Queens.

As for who to fuck, I recommend Marilu at Queens. Besure you wear a rubber. She is such a puta she will try to fuck you without a condom. She has tried this many times with me, but I know better. I don't want no warts on my verga.
