Nuevo Laredo

[QUOTE=Gringo2;2275622]Have you heard any rumors as to why?[/QUOTE]I can only assume that it was for lack of business. They would need a fairly high occupancy rate to afford to stay open. Very few people venture into Nuevo Laredo like they did before.

[QUOTE=Gringo2;2275622]Have you heard any rumors as to why?[/QUOTE]Maybe I was wrong, they shut down in 2016 for remodeling, I have no idea if that project is progressing or not. They were attempting to get in on some restoration funding from the city, no idea how that worked out for them.

Laredo, Texas. Rio Grande Plaza Hotel & Suites is excited to announce the preparation for a multi-million dollar renovation. The hotel is prepared to undergo a total renovation to coincide with the redevelopment of the Outlet Shops of Laredo under construction next door. The hotel will stop taking daily guests as of Friday, September 30, 2016, as we prepare for the multi-million dollar upgrade. The new hotel franchise is yet to be determined; as we await the announcement of other new developments in "Laredo's Downtown Renaissance". The owners and staff are proud to say we have enjoyed helping and housing many military veterans and college students of Laredo and the surrounding communities over the last 2 years. We would welcome anyone who would like to help find a way to continue a much needed service to the community.

Called a girl, that I have known for a few years, last night and asked if she could use some money. She was very happy and thanked me for thinking about her. So happy and in need of money that she no showed. So she got no money.

Say it ain't so, never before have I known one to be anything but completely honest and dependable. And I'm sure the guys that visit Western Union on a regular basis will agree.

And with girls crying the blues about how they are suffering, hurting for money, due to few people coming down, I figured she would show. She did last week and kept me informed on her location until she got here. Of course, this time, she had excuses, but you and I both know those are bogus. Since I am single again, it's game on. Since being single again, I have had to tell two girls, that were trying to latch on, to leave me alone. Free agent, and the market, sadly, isn't what it once was.

1) Her kid is sick.

2) Her mother needs money for her medication.

3) They are going to turn off her electricity.

I got told once they were going to turn off her water unless she paid her bill and she would not be able to see me anymore. Water bill was 1800 pesos. At the time that was 200 USD. I told her she could bathe in the river for free, next.

[QUOTE=Beavis;2281025]Yep been there too.[/QUOTE]Well she did come over, and I got her explanation, boy friend showed up and she was unable to send a text.

But do remember, I live here, I know a lot of the girls away from their work. Once I went to one girls house and installed a 220 volt dryer outlet.

Some hove boyfriends / husbands, some are stringing several gringos out for all they are worth. They come and see me for a lot less than they ask for downtown. They know that when they need a little money they can always text me. And I know sometimes they need a little more than I usually pay, they know they can ask for more once in a while and I am OK with that.

I do wish I could find some that I knew years ago, they pop in once in a while, only to disappear for weeks or months.

They are already arriving in Piedras Negras and stories are coming out of Tijuana. It's savagery. They should start pimping out the central american girls to make money once they realize that they will not be able to cross into Texas. I think they will see Nuevo Laredo as dangerous. They may go up to Acuna. Most of them have cell phones. How hard could it be to find a central american fuck friends? I mean that is what is on everyone's mind anyways. Trump is not budging. I went to Mty a few weeks ago and have another trip to Mty planned next weekend (I hope). But after that it's back to hard work and border weekend getaways.

You and I both know their MOs as we have spent years immersed in their culture. It's still funny to read about the weekend warriors that reinvent the wheel every time they go thru the turnstile.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any nice hotels in Nuevo Laredo that have rooms with a hot tub. Coming over this weekend and looking for a place to relax and enjoy my girl. Thanks for any help that can be offered.

I do know of several short time motels that have them, and I do believe some of the short time rooms have full time rates available. Try Paradise, Fare del Norte, Emarato, Cibeles, others I know where they are but don't know their names.

I am getting prepared to travel light this weekend to mty and have my global entry card ready to use. After I get back from mty, I will probably start going to Nuevo Laredo for the next couple of months if the hotels are not too expensive. If the fiesta hotel is still reasonably priced then I will do that. I will be a weekend warrior but dating local girls in Nuevo laredo as well. I am a little scared to even date local girls but it's not the fault of the local community that there is so much lawlessness going on. My worst fear is extortion. Honestly, knowing that the sex workers are mostly worn out local Crack heads makes me cringe. I am very curious however, I have not been to Nuevo Laredo since all the various migrants from different countries started to arrive.

I highly recommend the MTY, more expensive, but there is ways to get by cheap. As far a Laredo, I am very careful there and try to only drive early in the morning and when I am walking around I am also very careful. No inside information, but I just do not feel comfortable in Laredo. I have been all over the world. The only 2 place I felt this way are Colombia and Laredo. I feel like I am always being watched.

I have been driving to Laredo and Taking the bus to MTY, due to issue with the paperwork for my car to get registered in Mexico. You is a must to have all the correct paperwork you you drive outside of Laredo, or you will run into all kinds of problems, I was lucky, but wasted a lot of time. Also, there are cops all over the place in MTY, so I just drive to the hotel and then take UBER everywhere. Just be careful, do not drive late at night.

I also think that I have put allot of miles on my car. I need to see about registering my car to drive to monterrey and possibly work there too but I can't remember if I turned in my old permit around 11 years ago so I guess I need to visit the Mexican consulate in Austin to find out what's going on with that situation. I can see how it makes things easier to take the bus back from monterrey to nuevo laredo and walking the bridge back to Laredo and driving your car back to your casa.

I get the same type of feeling in Nuevo laredo where you feel like people are watching. I think that is because they are just watching the people coming out of the bride into Nuevo laredo. I get the same feeling about Colombia too even though I have never been there. I don't travel much, just to monterrey. I guess monterrey has everything I need.

[QUOTE=Zygomatic;2285416]I hope no caravans make it to Nuevo laredo. [/QUOTE]There is always an number of immigrants coming to Nuevo Laredo, the shelters are full of them along with the daily 120 or so deportees. A select few, of the immigrants, are allowed to sleep on the bridge while they await their turn at US immigration.
