Last week I saw a lardon on a bike getting captured thanks to those barriers and the robbed guy yelling and chasing after him.
It was an improvement and made for safer and more relaxed mongering in the area.
Well, que pena, it was nice while it lasted, now back to the head on a swivel, especially after 6.

I wonder if they removed the barriers in Poblado as well.

Posts: 537Returned from Cucuta last week to Centro. Found the city had changed the lights or the light bulbs between the church and the museum. Much brighter now. But had found that they had also taken down the Christmas lights two weeks before Christmas because of vandals.
December 31 morning and afternoon the police barrier around Botero was taken down. That very night (after 8:00 pm) a new private company barrier was put up and extended, but will be taken down January 1 after the mayor gives his speech and the concert is over in Botero. Avoid this area because of the traffic. They have closed the street that curves around Botero Park. Barrier across the street at Hotel the'Grief and under the metro on the side of Hotel Nutribara near D1.
Congratulations to all you idiots that wanted the barrier removed. Now the thieves, homeless, and the push cart vendors with their loud speakers will be returning.
I called it and saw it less than 12 hours after The Wall came down. Not a minute was wasted. 6:15 pm and dark. I walked the side of the museum, turned left past the bars, then turned left to go to the church. POS thieves and drug dealers out in force. First night with the police gone. Sorry police cruising past and around every half hour (maybe). I sat on the side of the church. 6:45 pm something happens on the dark alleyway on the side of the church. I think it was a robbery that did not pan out. 10 minutes later a robbery. The guys hand the phone or wallet to the girl and she walks quickly in front of the church to get away. The victim chases the girl and the bad guys chase after the victim. She gets away. The 2 or 3 police trainees at the corner near the Mor Dis because do nothing. 5 minutes later the victim along with a motorcycle cop walk down the church alley. The rest of the night was pretty dead with no people. Normally the thieves return in an hour after the police leave and repeat but they went partying since it was New Years Eve. Just wait until all the POS losers learn The Wall has been taken down and the police have basically left the area.
Leaving within the week to another city for a week or so before I have to return to Medellin to catch my flight out of here. I stayed a few weeks too long and owe Immigration which will be paid by credit card. I can not remember. Is there any money I need to pay at the airport on my way out? I am leaving with no COP because I have no plans to return and time soon.

Today, there's no way I'd get past so many red flags. I look at it as using up one of my nine lives. There's so much talk about the bad of Medellin. And rightfully so. It's a pretty dangerous place. But sometimes it is overstated.

As for maximizing time, that all depends on where you are hunting. If you are looking in Lleras and surrounding bars, it's hard to beat the location. It's within walking distance of most everything around there. To me, that's the selling point of Hotel Dix. But if you're visiting casas and strip clubs primarily, you have better options at that price point.
You mention safety. I enjoy Lleras and the surroundings but that's one of the places you need to be very careful. Casas are safe. Strip clubs are safe but I've never been a big fan of Medellin's strip clubs. Way overpriced, in my opinion. The girls are pretty and nice enough. But every experience I've had in them has been far more business oriented than meeting girls at bars. But again, much safer.

Posts: 3950Fico also had the barriers around the Metropolitan police station in San Jose removed. The barriers around that very busy bit of sidewalk near San Antonio were a constant reminder of the Quintero fiasco.

Posts: 112Love hate relationship with this city
Just finish a week long trip to Medellin. Been going there consistently for 10 years for context.
"The passport bros" and influx of tourists post covid have really messed up the dynamics of this city.
The criminals are now more aggressive and confident in their tactics, thanks in part to naive tourists.
Had a great day sessioning in Centro today. 23 year old chica from Venezuela. Upon leaving Centro I hopped in a taxi and my taxi driver (an old dude), had no shoes because he was "just robbed at gunpoint".
The spa fantasia energy spa next to el stadio used to be awesome. Now the lineup was 7 women and they were not hot in my opinion. I picked one girl there who I unfortunately discovered she was on her period and there was blood all over the place. I told the manager because it was disgusting.
La Isla used to be awesome. Thanks passport bros for ruining this club. It's now essentially mandatory to buy bottle service I you want to it down or even stand at the bar. Since I was drinking water the staff made me stand in the corner away from the bar. Took a chica home from La Isla and she was so so, nothing special.
Parque Lleras is the same. Some gems can still be found there at night. I saw a lot of the same girls from parque lleras working during the daytime in centro.
Long story short, I still had fun as always. The crime here is annoying as fuck. The tourists messed this city up in the past few years.
I highly recommend the Ayahuasca excursion in Guarne. It was fucking epic.

As far as getting a girl from a MP to come over, I think it's pretty safe once you get to know her. You can read a girl after a couple of sessions. Also, she would know she can be found and the shop most likely has their cedula, address and phone number if police had to investigate. My experience with small shops, sometimes the girls give out one of the house cell phone numbers because they are instructed to and probably threatened not to see customers outside the shop. I've wpp'd thinking it was her personal and find out it's one of the shop phones. If you are in the room, she probably has her cellphone. Get her Insta, Face, and wpp from her personal phone and see where it goes. If a girl said she wants to bring a friend, could be a warning sign. I would consider asking her to arrive in a basic yellow taxi. I just feel like it's less likely to be a set up as opposed to a friend driving her that she calls an Uber but still an unknown man knowing where you are staying.

I have used a dentist I've used since in Llerres, in the building next to the Church, across the street from Parque Poblado. Small office but able to do basic work. Will try to post his address. Quite a few dentists in that building.
