[QUOTE=Juariles;1305653]Call me crazy, but I'm from Juarez and I've never been into a mp. Maybe it's because I don't want people to see my car outside the establishment. But I think ill give it a try this weekend. Anyone went to the one on 21 de marzo & lopez mateos? Or to leos? Which one is better?[/QUOTE]If I lived down there I would be enjoying every minute of the women and sex I could. I sure as heck did when I lived down in San Luis / Mexicali.
[QUOTE=My Freedom; 1305939]A USA passport in Mexico is worth $1, 500? I have to fly from Juarez to Mexico City and back in a few days. So, when arriving in Juarez, what will the "oficiales" be asking me for, my visa form, or, passport, or both?
At the airport upon arrival, I doubt that the passport card would suffice? Please advise.[/QUOTE]The card should be sufficient. The El Paso mexican consulate site says you just need to show proof of nationality. I flew with just a state I'd once, but that was several years ago. You need to get a tourist pass (FMTTV). Last time I flew out of Juarez I was told the didn't handle that at the airport anymore and I had to get it at the border station at the free bridge and pay for it at a bank. There's a bank right there so the whole process takes about 15 minutes. The site new says you can do it at the airport. Here is the site:

Give them a call to be sure.
[QUOTE=Xfactors;1305945]I would think that a passport card would suffice. Anybody here know?[/QUOTE]Passport or Passport Card and your FMT (Tourist Visa) is all you need. I flew into Juarez from Monterrey last year and the soldiers in the terminal just glanced at my passport and FMT. Flying from Monterrey terminal C was a breeze. Non of the barefoot in line BS and other insults you endure in the US.
Never heard of a passport or passport card being worth $1500 dollars in Mexico. With the embedded RFID in the cards and the holographic printing of the passport book, that renders them mostly worthless.

[QUOTE=BorderJumper;1305974]Never heard of a passport or passport card being worth $1500 dollars in Mexico.[/QUOTE]Well, if that was true, I'd gladly sell both my card and my book, then pay replacement costs with the profits. There's a limit on how many times a passport can be replaced, for $1500 a hit, I'd be at that limit rather quickly. A passport is not required to enter the US, they cannot deny entry to a US citizen, I see people cross with a DL and SS card all the time.
I have been traveling in Mexico since 1968, and other than showing my passport, since that requirement was made, to get a tourist visa, I have never been asked to show it for any other reason. Most recently, I took a bus to Hermosillo from Nuevo Laredo, (27 hours), then flew back to Monterrey from Hermosillo, bus back to Nuevo Laredo, never was asked for anything, not tourist visa, not passport.

ANY valid document that allows entry into the US has huge value. Visas, green cards, all have big value. $1500. 00 is a price I was told for a passport. I have never sold one to verify!
I was in Honduras in 1995 and was cautioned by the embassy that a valid US passport there was worth $3000. 00 to the right person. Now; I don't know what they do with them, how they do it, but I promise you, they are not "worthless." A common scheme right now in the states is selling a B visa, and then reporting it stolen two weeks later. In that time the person who bought it has crossed.
These guys know how to steal your ATM account information and generate fake ATM cards, and another common scam is they create fake gift cards to top end clothing scores; and they work! They buy Coach purses and top line goods and then sell them at half price. I know because my wife works in a Mexican Marisco here in the city where I live, and tells me all of the schemes these people pull off. So, don't tell me a valid US passport is worthless. They know how to use it.
[QUOTE=BorderJumper;1305974]Never heard of a passport or passport card being worth $1500 dollars in Mexico.[/QUOTE]I can't even imagine a Mexican bothering to pay 15 pesos for a US passport. Jump the fence, swim the river or (God forbid) as many do, get a visa and visit legally.
Loooks like Faustos is gone, but Eduardos bar has moved to Vicente Guerrero Ave. A few blocks from Aristos.
Aristos is good they have Bridget she is 19 and now has a womans body very pretty

[QUOTE=Mugroso;1306320]Jump the fence, swim the river.[/QUOTE]Swimming is quite popular here in Nuevo Laredo. 21 bodies pulled from it so far this year, so I imagine a lot more than that actually make it across.

Back on forum topic, I miss the MPs of Juarez, Nuevo Laredo has none. We do have what's left of boys town but it's just not the same as walking into a MP, getting a shower, massage, and laid, a great way to start the day. Last I was in Juarez, the violence was not an issue, and I had several MP regulars that treated me great. Not saying a good time can't be had in NL, but I still miss the Juarez MPs.
Is bars like pink lady. Casa colorado or faustos or alice and charlys open. They were closed last month.

Haven't bothered with Boystown in years, since the last time we all got together out there.
Pink Lady is open. See the post by Jrzmong on the fate of Faustos. Maybe it's time for you to try out the new places on Vicente Guerrero and forget the old places. They're not any farther than Pink Lady.

(please don't tell me you're Father Flanagan)
[QUOTE=Coyote79;1307217]How does Boystown work?[/QUOTE]Boystown, aka NLBT, is a walled in compound in Nuevo Laredo where prostitution is officially tolerated. There are hooker bars, and door girls. Hooker bars are self explanatory, I think. Door girls are girls that work from a rented room along the street, normally sitting or standing in the doorway for passers by to see. The hooker bars, prices would run up to $100 for nice looking girls, down to maybe $20 for some of the trashier places. Door girls are 100-200 pesos for basic service, addons can be negotiated for more. In it's heyday, NLBT was booming, hundreds of working girls in the bars and doors, today it's down to maybe a couple dozen total. You can go to the Nuevo Laredo forum, read some older posts and see what it was like and some newer posts and get a feel for what it is now. Back about 2004, one night I counted 48 girls in Papaguyos (now closed), and there were more, I stopped at 48, may have been 60, literally no place for them all to stand, the streets were lined with door girls.
