Ciudad Juarez

[Pimelonman]

I would not spend a single peso in Hollywood even if it was located on Jaurez Ave next to the bridge. The waiters had a reputation of screwing customers out of their change. In addition to the rap and shit hop music be played., if you want to call that junk music. Numerous times I used to walk by that place listening to the waiters barking, practically begging me come in and buy a beer. I just could not deal with their rip-off attempts and the music.

IMO Alice and Charly's is still a decent bar, although the girl's drinks are expensive. I was there last Saturday night and saw about 5 I thought were screwable. At Queens I only saw one decent chic.

I feel safe on Jaurez Ave and Mariscal, north of Mejia. Anywhere else I use a taxi.

Alert for rats, mice plague issued after cleanup

Juárez environmental and civil protection officials Thursday issued an alert about a rats and mice plague.

The rodents apparently began showing up at homes in various parts of Juárez after the recent cleaning of the city's drainage system in an effort to control flooding, officials said.

City crews have started a fumigation program and are cleaning vacant lots to help stop the plague. Residents were advised to fumigate and clean their property.

It was about 4 weeks ago, if I remember correctly.

I guess they're primed to bulldoze that whole area now - nothing's left on those two blocks, right? Didn't Queens close a while ago too?

Now being close to the border I get all the news here and there are so many murders going on there even with the presence of a large contingent of military. The naysayers will tell you that this only applies to drug traffickers, but it's not true. Bullets do not check identification when they are being sent in the middle of daylight in civilian populated areas and there is a war going on between the MX gov. Now and the traffickers. Also regular low life crime has increased, since it is now hard to catch anyone with so many murders and other crimes going on.

Now they're reporting that with the extra efforts at the border and it becoming increasingly difficult to conduct "business as usual", that there is a big spike in the street dealer level turf violence in Juarez.

So, there are those strays to also worry about whizzing past your head now as well.

I have been going to Juarez on and off for the last 30 years, but have not been there in several years now. The reason? Last time I went they had women cops, the women in the strip clubs were no longer getting nude or doing any shows and the prices has risen dramatically, like minumum $40-$50 for a freelancer. This is in addition to their over priced drinks, taxi fares, etc.

Now being close to the border I get all the news here and there are so many murders going on there even with the presence of a large contingent of military. The naysayers will tell you that this only applies to drug traffickers, but it's not true. Bullets do not check identification when they are being sent in the middle of daylight in civilian populated areas and there is a war going on between the MX gov. Now and the traffickers. Also regular low life crime has increased, since it is now hard to catch anyone with so many murders and other crimes going on. The last time I was there I witnessed a gang fight and I felt uncomfortable walking the tourist areas at night. I am a big guy too and rarely get messed with.

Also you have to contend with all the Barney Fife Customs agents now, most of whom are on the US side and they are searching vehicles going INTO Mexico now for weapons and money. I was searched on a public bus going into MX when a drug sniffing dog caught the sent of my cash anti-mugging stash by US Custome goons. It is all such a damn hassle and the prices at the border towns are so high, it's not worth it any more to go there.

YMMV, just my 2 cents.

It's been about 8 years since I've to Juarez. As luck would have it I'm going to be in El Paso tonight. From what I remember, there where some good bars with working girls after you cross the walking bridge down a few blocks turn right and then a left. Is this area still the same? With all the shit happening in that town I'd like to make sure things haven't changed. I'd hate to walk over for nothing or to get into problems. Any help you local guys could give would be helpfull.

Is this closed Hollywood the one across from Queens that we all know?

Yes, Hollywood is that cholo trap across from Queens.

Imagine this, if the waiters were theiving rats and the girls being just as bad in downtown imagine how bad they will be to American customers way out there in Rancho Anapra. Getting rolled in the club and then tossed out into the darkenss of Rancho Anapra is a situation I wouldn't want to be in and thats inside the club. Now imagine further of a gringo in Rancho Anapra, tossed out of the club with all those cholos around and then theres the cops wandering around. If the cop activity is bad behind the gym imagine how bad it will be way out there.

I would not be surprised if an American spends a few days in a "house" locked up in a closet way out there in Rancho Anapra. Definetly a "go at your own risk" destination.

If enough Americans go to the new Hollywood the Mexican ecomomy will recover before our ecomomy does.

Not quite 2 kilometers before the "new" Hollywood, there is a new traffic circle and more streets in the area seem to be paved but there seems to be a portion still not paved about half a kilometer before the "new" traffic circle.

At Luxxor on Saturday, alot of good looking chicas. Went in with a new girl, Rubi, nice face, slender. Nice GFE experience. DFK, CBJ, nice and with alot of passion, or at least a good actress. The line up is quite good, Lilly, there a few years back, has returned, slender, darker hair and great figure. Suggest go during the week, as it is usually slower, and more girls always available. Weekends a bit more busy. Ashley, Karina, Mida? , all look good, had a service with Ashley a few weeks back. I usually tip good ($ 40) so times are hard, most girls are not doing alot of services so the word of tipping gets around and they are willing to please!

FYI The new Hollywood club that is now closed downtown moved to Rancho Anapra with all the girls

Wow! So many years (over 10?) since I have been to Rancho Anapra.

Not quite 2 kilometers before the "new" Hollywood, there is a new traffic circle and more streets in the area seem to be paved but there seems to be a portion still not paved about half a kilometer before the "new" traffic circle.

I bet they can kiss their gringo business goodbye being located in such a shitty neighborhood but I wonder if this is an indication this will be the location of the new zona. I hope so, I need the work.

From what I remember, there where some good bars with working girls after you cross the walking bridge down a few blocks turn right and then a left. Is this area still the same?

I don't know how far back you've read to get up to date but most of those bars are closed or torn down. That area (El Centro) is a whole new world over the last 2 or 3 years.

If you had walked down to the little plaza (Plaza de Mariachi) with the horse and the big horseshoes to make the right, you would see the difference instantly today.

I got the last 2 numbers mixed up, sorry.

Its 656-1-50-04-69.

The add is on the PM, you'll see a blond girl and the words Allison, you cant miss it.

Thanks for the tips on Luxxor, will definetly be visiting soon.

Thanks Juaritos. I just had a session with "Alison". Not sure if it's the same girl you were with but this one is young and cute (she said she's turning 24), morena, has a lunar (mole) between her upper lips and nose. Ok session I think she's young and not too experience. But she's a sweet girl and yes she does try to please. Not sure if I'll repeat.

When the padrote arrive at the hotel, there were three girls total in the car. Probably just in case I don't like Alison. I took a pic of her (with clothes) and will post it.

[Juaritos]

Pm is a local newspaper, sort of like EL PESO in Chihuahua or EL METRO in Mexico City.

I think they start selling it around 12 o clock. You can't miss it, its on newstands and guys are selling it on almost every street corner. But you got to move fast because around 3 or 4 in the afternoon their gone. It costs 5 pesos, around a.35 cents.
