Nuevo Laredo

The general answer was only one taxi agency is permitted to service the Airport (mafia tactics?) and none of those drivers drove for that agency.

Never heard of that, and I asked several people, none of them have either. Checked didi, they pick up and deliver to the airport, confirmed by friend that recently used them, for both.

I normally spend my time in Monterrey but looks like I may be moving to Laredo Texas. Does Nuevo Laredo have any good stripe clubs or will I be forced to continue to go to Monterrey for this fix?

Sorry, I would not wish living in Laredo, either side of the border on anyone. There is one strip club, but I think it is mostly truck drivers. Directly off the freeway.

Returning from CDMX back to Texas, bypassed old trend of fly to Monterrey then bus from MTY to Nuevo. This time flew direct from CDMX into Nuevo's NLD airport a first for me. I've periodically driven by the airport considering its way out in middle of nowhere status.

Friend was supposed to pick me up, but night before flight she called in sick leaving me in the dark.

Landed, very small building, on arrival, border agent confirming gringos had their permits. I had mine, in Tijuana they collect it, and here I was done traveling to interior and offered him to just take it and he gave it back to me idk.

Taxi back into town, line of people backed up. Called a different friend, she was at work unable to step out so she called 4 different cab drivers. The general answer was only one taxi agency is permitted to service the Airport (mafia tactics?) and none of those drivers drove for that agency.

Ride was 200 p into zona Centro but also had to wait over an hour for an available taxi to return to base to offer me a ride.

I would prefer to utilize the middle-of-nowhere NLD facility if my friends don't bail at the last minute, otherwise will revert to Monterrey.

No, it's not got that bad here yet. But they say the Amistad dam, that discharges into the Rio Grande, is at 14%, so it may.

The news, said on Wednesday, that both Nuevo Laredo and Laredo, have 4 months water remaining, and unless we get some serious rain soon, restrictions will be required. Both Laredo and Nuevo Laredo, get their water from the Rio Grande River, or as it is called in Mexico, Rio Bravo.

Do you know if water (I. E. Showers) is restricted / rationed in hotels in NL?

It was announced today, they plan on halting the production of beer and soft drinks in Nuevo Leon, state where Monterrey is located, due to water shortage. Topo Chico, and others, are going to soon be scarce in Mexico.

Thanks God today in the Leander HEB I found 1877 mineral water from Mineral Wells, TX under the shelf where the sold out Too Chico was. Tastes almost the same ( or the same) as Topo Chico and helps me greatly continue to curb my excess light beer consumption. .

Topo Chico obviously not the only good tasting mineral water on the planet.

Mineral water is mineral water and if done right don't need only Topo Chico. The MEX business marketing is just so great at what they do they convinced U.S. that they had the only product, however America can compete especially in time of shortages.

Probably, you need to wait for the weather to cool down.

Should be no problem driving during the day.

It has been reported, on several fronts, that they are having serious water issues in the state of Nuevo Leon. It's to the point they are going to close breweries and soft drink bottlers in order to conserve water.

Thanks for the intel!

I was in the barrio antiguo mty few weeks back and heard about the roadblocks the local protesters setup en route to mty from linares. My depa en mty had water and every super in the area was good at that point. Def something to keep in mind though!

Go during the day and take the toll way, you will not have any issues. Do not mess around at night in Laredo.

What was an innocent 2 day bombing run Friday afternoon for civilian functional life is so far on Day 5 of trapped with broken down vehicle in Laredo TX. The story of my summer.

Brief time I went out at night saw what looks to be bars clubs on side streets of Guerrero and Matamoros Avenidas where there was monger activity at least I think.

Trying to sneak out but host family lives WAAAAAY west in Progreso and no Uber taxi and a bus ride takes almost 1 hour (don't ask how I know this)(Also don't have a vehicle randomly stall out 38 miles north of Laredo).

Time for a new car especially if you are driving in Laredo. Secondly, hang out in MTY much better and safer, but you already know this. I hope things get better.
