Nuevo Laredo

[Lowkey1]

I am planning a trip there and trying to see if the prices are comparable to Tijuana? Is a hopping place similar to that or not? I have been to a few border cities and found Tijuana was the best. So if I could get a little pricing info of what to expect I would love it.

Thank you

Upgraded the chairs, not much of anything else. Club is still pretty much nude, but I think it is up to the girl if they want to go the "full monty" or not. Pricing is still a comparitive bargain. They still need to work on their chica count, but on a good night there are some lookers.

I think the stage is a little nicer and the there's ceiling fans that will come in handing in a few months. I completely agree they need more girls and some hotties. Last time I was there I didn't see anyone that caught my eye so I didn't find out if they redid the rooms.

Now that all the girls are coming back from their Christmas vacations things are picking back up. Last year I went three times between October and November, and the chica count and quality was better than it had been in a couple of years at least. 123 had re-opened, and looks like they are going to be at least as good as it was in the past.

Danash still has the best selection of 8's 9's and the occasional 10, but your going to pay more for it there. Senoritas, and 123 woul be the 2nd tier, but easier to bargain there. Pappa's runs a very close 3rd tier, and most of the other clubs (Blue Dragon, Pullman, Tamyko etc.) are hit or miss, but I recommend giving them at least a 1 beer look around, sometimes you find a diamond amongst the coal.

Don't plan on getting there before 10:00pm or plan to be bored. 10 is actually probably too early. U usually hang out around the downtown bars until about 10 or 11 before I head out to BT.

123 back in the day was my favorite spot. It was closed last time I went. Anyone have any information on the new opening. It was a total nude dance joint with cheap white plastic chairs last time I went. Might have to spend a little tax return money to see the new place.

Yes, and remember the old sub street level exit from the bridge on the Mexican side? Only a few of lights worked.

Two books written years apart describe the author's experience and feeling upon crossing into Nuevo Laredo.

"Down that Pan American Highway "(circa 1947).
"Long Road South " (1999).
Their descriptions were very similiar considering the time difference.

[Super Gato]

Ze Gato (no relation to this Super Gato) may have had the gun situation happen on the Texas side. There was a documentary about a dude that got assassinated in Laredo Texas over some narcotraficante business in Mexico years ago.

Yeah the guy chasing Ze Gato may have been a narcotrafante, or he could be the random crazy person. People all over the country get a gun pulled on them and sometimes chased by crazy people.

Downtown Laredo Texas is rough and have never had a good vibe about the place. I've been driving to that parking lot countless times over the years and rarely see anyone. Before they built the new toll plaza and stairs up from the parking lot and you had to walk along that dark street to the bridge, I was always thinking I was going to get rolled. Gringo late at night going to Mexico probably has some cash on him. But haven't had a problem yet on either side. The lesson is to be alert and not draw attention to yourself. This applies in Texas, Mexico and everywhere else on the planet.

Well, after some arguing I'm all confused now jejej how is the action in bt and around what time does it pick up? Is danash still the best option there? I will probably be going on Thursday night if anyone wants to join.

[A Toda Maquina]

Yes, this was true in the Zona on the South side of Saltillo . Upon entering the compound's archway entrance. We all went for coffee and had a few laughs as well. New aquaintenances made over coffee. They even fetched for me one of the last cabs leaving out that night.


You guys be safe and have fun !!!!!

There is no need to lie. And all I am saying is be careful, and that sh*t scared the heck out of me.

Ze Gato did add something positive.

He informed us to be careful and not to flash hi-beams at someone who probably has nothing to lose and on the verge of BK of which 25+ percent of all adult Americans will also succumb to if the S&P hits 500 and RRE declines another 10 percent(I don't have the link).

I'm going back to MX for six months but I know it's going to be a whole different environment from previous episodes. Maybe not so much in the rich areas but for the Mexican poor, it is going to be all about a daily survival. Actually, it's going to be that way for many in the U.S. as well.

Six months of non-perishable food and water is an absolute no brainer if you reside in any of the aforementioned countries listed in the above article.

I have had them ask me for coffee money also, so that part is no doubt true.

OK where they wearing the same old clothes, lol? I have definitely had them ask for money but it was never for coffee. I had a guard at the Pemex facitity in Ciudad del Carmen ask for refrescos to allow my GF to come through the gate.

[Bbond]

Plus the cops want coffee? That is a new one for sure.

[Beavis]

It might be true but he added nothing positive at all. First he gets involved in a shootout on the USA side and then he says the same girls are there with the same clothes. Plus the cops want coffee? That is a new one for sure.

Also there was nothing good at all that happened? Same old door girls, same old clothes, then a bandito is running loose carrying a pistol in Laredo. If that is true he must be the unluckiest guy in the world.

There is plenty of free porn on the internet and they don't even ask for coffee, imagine that.

I even heard of a country where some Arabs flew two commercial airliners into a couple of tall buildings. Was that in Laredo or Nuevo Laredo?

[BabyHuey]

Thing is, I beleive Ze Gatos story also. My only problem is, there was a shootout the other day at the highshcool that is 6 blocks to the west of my house. I live in an upper middle class neighborhood where the houses (uses to) sell for $250,000 an up. I only say that this kind of shit happens everywhere, and if it scares you, then stay inside, bar your doors, and jack off. Me personally, business was slow, but now I have picked up several new contracts. Since I had to let go of some of my workers, I now find myself working 80+ hours a week to get things completed in time. It will probably be late March before I can catch up and have the time to head to Mexico again, but I'm not going to let a story about a shootout on a side street in downtown Laredo scare me off from going.

Ze Gato, I think your story might be true, as I have seen similar south of the border. I once saw a carload of Mexicans run another off the road and then get out and commence beating him with maglight flashlights. I asked the cab driver if he was going to call the police and he said no, that's just life in Nuevo Laredo. Then I saw a couple of dogs fucking on the side of the street and remembered where I was.

[Precocious One]

This story seems a little far fetched to me. Maybe it is true but if you just head to Santa Maria street it will take you straight to the parking lot and there are always lots of cops in the downtown Laredo area. Many of us have been going there for years and you are the first one to ever have a gun toting story to tell on the USA side.

Your follow up post says that the quality has gone downhill when most of the other reports say the exact opposite. To the reader that uses this forum to keep updated your posts merely project that you had a bad evening and are pissed off at somebody. If anything the violence is at the lowest point it has been in years yet you are getting guns waved at you in the middle of the street. Personally I don't think your opinion merits much value here because the experienced people who have been going there for a long time beg to differ.

The author also neglects to point out the 25 percent decrease in the peso against the dollar even further reducing revenues as oil is priced in dollars.

I have nothing but good to say about my experiences in MX. But you would have to be naive to believe that violence in the U.S., MX and the world in general for that matter is not going to increase exponentially. In the last two months we have seen riots or civil unrest occur in Greece, Latvia, France, Russia and now China all related to the collapsing global economy.

I would lay 2-1 odds that a Civil Unrest(Rodney King) episode will happen somewhere in the U.S. before years end. Even money before the end of summer.

Mongers in foreign countries need to be very aware of their immediate surrondings at all times. At this jucture in the disinflationary period, past performance(safety) is not indicative of future results.

For the record, I believe Z Gato's story. Read his prior posts. He appears to be a positive guy.
