[QUOTE=2nd Chance;1153237]Thanks for the updated info. I "think" I marked the new place correctly.[/QUOTE]Close enough. I wouldn't call it a "port of entry" but "pedestrian bridge" but it isn't my map. The bridge crosses the 5/805 and ends right across the street from the Duty Free shop west of the freeway.

[QUOTE=Keg;1153195]Confirming this change, the new bridge is open and the old bridge is gated closed. The end of an era.[/QUOTE]Typical gov't clusterf*ck. Fix a problem and make it worse.
The old bridge was a PITA with the endless zig-zags. All it really needed was stairs at either end. But noooo.
Now we have a bridge that only has stairs at one end, is twice as long as the old one, and dumps you clear on the other side of the street from the UETA lot. What a joke.
I think some money changed hands between the designer and the Parking Lot companies on the east side of the freeway. My guess is that UETA's business is going to drop, as it's less convenient now.

[/QUOTE]They're getting rid of the old building (and its attached bridge) to accommodate more 2x the cars and pedestrian traffic. If you look at the design of the new facility, the bridge is just at the end of the car inspection area. (

). If you walk over the new bridge now you can see construction workers have torn several lanes and booths of the vehicle inspection area. When the project is complete they'll be expanding the lanes in both direction of the freeway so the bridge is in the most practical place. They grew out of the old building's capacity in the 1970s. Things were made worse with the whole "war on terror." We're overdue for a new border crossing station and don't mind having to walk farther if it means I'm not standing in line as long to get back into the US.
The other "benefit" for CBP for putting the bridge farther from the car inspection is they never liked people being able to look down on the cars being inspected. If you've every crossed when the old bridge was closed (in the middle of the night during the week) and had to walk all the way to Camino de la Plaza to cross, we should be so lucky there was a new bridge because the pedestrians crossing doesn't fight terrorism.
UETA's business has been on the decline before the new bridge. I used to love parking there so that I could be from my car to the bars in 8 minutes if I got Mario Andretti as my taxista. The walk back to the car and the old bridge sucked, but late on Tues or Wed nights, I'd have to walk to Camino de la Plaza a drag. What moved me over to the $5 JITB lot was UETA would want $9 (rather than the usual $8) sometimes and when I'm going to be in Tijuana <8 hours, I got tired of spending the extra money.

Amnesia
Just trying to gather some intel before my next trip. I was reading about a place mentioned in the SW section called Amnesia. Also I heard Mexico Linda mentioned in the escort section. I remember going to a bar called Mexico Linda many years ago off Rev kind of by where the AM PM is now. Is there any thing to be found in there. Any info is appreciated.

[/QUOTE]Ah, thanks for the update.
Although, call me cynical, but I wonder how fast the lines will be after completion. Which will probably be 2 or 3 years late and a few billion over budget. After all, the Homeland Security union drones are only going to move so fast. And they'll have to quadruple their staff, as they need 2 or 3 guys to stand around playing grab-ass for every worker manning a booth. I'll have my SENTRI waaaaaay before they finish, so I guess it won't matter if the lines are shorter or longer. But I agree, the space has been obsolete for a long time.
I've been lucky and never had the old bridge closed during a return trip. Just worked out that way, it wasn't planned.
I could never figure out UETA's pricing, either. Last visit about half the lot was blocked off. SOme sort of remodeling?
They really need to come up with a way to enter / exit Mexico on BOTH sides of the freeway. Now, that would be an idea I could support. Probably makes too much sense.

Super. I corrected the info based on your suggestion. Man, I really need to take a trip down there an see it for myself.

There are some specials to be had if you know how to negotiate, but generally pricier than zona norte.

Hotel Ticuan?
Anybody stay at Hotel Ticuan ([url]http://hotelticuan.com/[/url])? I'm thinking of booking there over Memorial Day weekend. I know I won't be able to convince Zona Norte girls to go there, but I am looking for something that is walking distance to the Zona and Revolution Ave.
Only downside I can see is that a) I can't book through hotels.com or expedia and b) their website sucks (reservations only seems to work with internet exploiter, SSL certs are bad, etc.). Has anyone successfully booked with their website? How about calling them for a reservation (my Spanish is not very good)?

This and that
got into the parking lot around 3 in the afternoon and crossed over the new pedestrian bridge for the second time. and i had the same question in mind the last time i crossed; why in the sam hill did they only put stairs at one end of the bridge? it is a bit of a longer walk, but seeing how it's about the only exercise i get nowadays, i guess i can't complain.
walked into hk and saw elizabeth dancing on the "big pole of asses" and out came my first dollar. today i'm thinking i should have latched on to her right from the get go; lesson learned. so off i went shopping, walking from one end of the club to the other. wasn't sure if i wanted someone new or if i would just be lazy and go with someone that i've been with before. that's when i spotted little liz bending over to talk to some guy. i walked by her and tapped her on the ass and keep walking; she quickly responded.
she did this little run and a half-ass lambeau leap, which almost took both of us down. i looked into her eyes, little liz was already three sheets to the wind, and it was only 3:30. i told her to meet me at the table in the loft, one of the tables that are over the hot tub or sometimes covered hot tub with booths & tables (wish hk would make up their mind about that area). i flagged down d-rey for drinks and went up the steps and around. this is when i found out just how much little liz was tanked. she decided to take a short cut, took the steps up the covered hot tub and attempted to come through the handrail. i took her forever and a day to negotiate that handrail. i was already at the table when she was halfway through and she looked up at me and gave me the "a little help" look. i yanked her through the rest of the way.
call it poor judgment on my part, but i got her a beer anyway. when little liz is sober, we can communicate a little; not at all when she's drinking. so basically i'm in the "let's see what happens" mode. she announced "baņo" and scampered off at least four times; one time she returned without her panties and i asked her,"what the hell liz?" she just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. and one time she didn't return at all. i sent d-rey out to see if she had passed out somewhere and he brought her back about 5 minutes later. i asked him where she was, and he told me she was sitting is some guy's lap on the other side if the club.
and i confess that i was of no help, especially when i invited speedy over and did some shots off her tits. then the cameras were out, then some more shots; how i love this club! i did blocked out her face in the picture for two reasons: one because i wanted her consent, but damn if we understood anything either one of was saying. two, she was tanked and the picture did not justify her cute face; looked pretty rough actually. it wasn't before long, she announced "baņo" and stumbled off and i just knew she was gone for good; as least i thought. it wasn't long until i saw marlen walk by, so i had d-rey fetch her and bring her over.
marlen has been on my hk bucket list for a while. but i saw a report on her back in february that was not appealing. she is a tall dark chica that usually walks around topless in order to show off her eraser nipples. she has been bugging me to go arriba for quite a while. and if you but her a brink, she gives a great cock massage. marlen sat down for a drink and started the cock massage. about 5 minutes later little liz stumbled over and sat across from us with a severe confused look on her face. marlen asked,"should i worry?" i answered,"nah, your bigger, you can take her if necessary." marlen refused to see the humor. after a few minutes, little liz got up and left.
i should have reread that report on marlen before i took her upstairs. first off, she is a clock watcher. even though i had an extra 15 minutes from the vip card, she let me know when the 30 minutes would be up. she did this weird thing of rubbing her breast on my chest, i guess it was a nipple massage of some sort; didn't do a damn thing for me. and had been reported before, her blowjob was just plain silly. she used about a roll of toilet paper wiping this and that; at one point i was not sure what in the hell was going on. we ended up in the 69 position and with that big dark ass bouncing off my face; that's all i needed. check that one off the bucket list.
i was about to head home after having the best hotdog in the world, when i was latched onto from a extra chunky street girl that i never noticed; go figure. her english was ok, my spanish still sucks ass, but i'm working on it. she told me that she was out on the street most of the day and then mentioned she was hungry. great smile, great attitude, so i had a "what the fuck" moment. she wanted to go to the new taco place on the corner. we eat a bit, and then i noticed that chunky only ate a bit more than half of her food. i said, wth?" she said,"i need to watch my waistline." thank goodness i wasn't chewing any food or i would have choked for sure.
chunky said she wanted to get off the street for a bit and also have a drink. she suggested the hotel next to cc where an hour was 1000p. i told her i was old and only good for one shot per night, but she said no problem, all she wanted to do was practice her english and have a couple of drinks for only the cost of the room. so i had another "what the fuck" moment. we went to a small store, got some vodka and orange juice, and the sales clerk even threw in a couple of cups.
for the first half-hour, we sat on the bed and butchered each other's language. then she got this urge and went after my crotch like a mad dog over raw meat. she brought junior to life and clothes were flying (with the lights out). she truly had more flesh than i was used to in the zona. i decided to do the " technique", which i've been practicing at home alone. omg, the girl had 34. 5 orgasms. to be honest, i'm not really sure what exactly happened that last 30 minutes, but we both seemed happy and i gave her 300p and sent chunky on her way.
after a brief stop in tropical (2 for 1 stop) and making a run through adelita and las chavelas, i stopped back in hk to get my taxi money. this time the front door dude gave the money directly to the cabbie. i also used the atm in hk and pulled 1000p and looked at the receipt this morning. there was a 60p atm fee and a 9. 60p tax surcharge to boot. back in the parking lot, i thought i was under 8 hours, didn't work out; paid another 5 bucks.

Place is not that far from Zona that I walk there I was looking all around while walking. I got their jacuzzi room it was clean and safe. Don't know if a street girl will go that far but you can arrange chics from agencies to meet you at hotel. I will be staying at Ticuan everytime I stay overnight in Tijuana.

You did "the technique" and then you paid her?
Did you arrange to meet her chunky family? :)

One more quick question, does the staff speak passable English? As I mentioned previously, I've forgotten almost all the Spanish I learned in high school.
