Is the Border Jumper running
Stopped by the Convention Center to catch the Border Jumper and the ticket place was fenced off.
Walked over and noticed some new shiny buses crossing. Asked one of the drivers where to catch one the US side and he said at the border.
Couldn't get much more information.
Something New?
The good ole days are gone
Adios El Centro - we had fun. It's more than obvious that El Centro is done.
Las Vegas, which closed long ago for remodel, is still closed and I doubt will ever reopen. That little corner dive next to it - caddy corner from Queens is closed and done. That makes it seem that the whole 4 cornered section - from Vegas to the old Irma's and back a block towards the old Green Lantern and Virginia's - is prime for tear down.
Eduardo's, as reported, has been razed (good riddance). The block of Central Laguerno(sp? "Fatty Central") is all closed down or razed.
Las Palmeras and a few of the other little joints in that area are closed/shuttered.
Ano Nuevo was closed.
I haven't ventured around Mariscal in a month or so. Ano Nuevo was a surprise to me as was Las Palmeras. Is this the norm now or was this because of Revolution Day (20th) weekend or whatever? This is of Saturday @ 8pm.
One thing of note was a few people hanging in front telling me "Hollywood is the place to go". I can't help but wonder how much of anything is a result of "cartel pressure" - especially when I remember the cholo ambiance of Hollywood. Are they destined to be King of the Hill?
