PedWest and Liberty FootPath
Before the passport requirement of 2008, Liberty Footpath used to be very lively, full of gringos and gringas, shopping at the farmacias, curios, eating and drinking at tacos shops and bars lining that path, all the way from the McDonald over the bridge, passing the wax museum, to El Arco.
On hot afternoon, I used to sit at tables on the sidewalk, drinking 41 cold beers, eating 3 tacos for $, flirting with meseras, watching young girls wandering the jewelry stands. Then I would go to La Zona Norte, spend the whole night in bars and beds with the chicas.
When I walked back to the border on the same path near midnight, restaurants and shops would still be open, their storefronts lighting up the whole path. Music still blaring out of the bars. People and couples would still be straggling back, crossing the bridge, being enticed by meseros for the last drinks before the border.
After 2008, the place was hot, barren, dusty with few people in the day time; cold, dark and deserted at night. Stores after stores gradually shut down and went out of business. The livelihood, built up over so many years, just left the area. With PedWest planned to be bidirectional by year end, perhaps that whole area West of the Mc Donalds should be rezoned tolerancia, and many empty buildings could be quickly converted into puta bars and strip clubs. Would sure help bring foot traffic back across the border. Deja Vu has pretty much rezoned itself with sex on the premises right at exit of PedEast, so PedWest should insist on having the same zoning status. The Liberty foot path should be renamed Free Pussies footpath for accuracy!
Imagine walking across that PedWest, landing right in front of bars with hundreds of sexy girls with hot, wet pussies. Yum! Licking my chops.
Bridge over Tijuana river
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;1926701]I usually take a cab or the HK limo, but I do walk occasionally. Perhaps I've walked that bridge about 15 times. I do not ever remember seeing police in that tower, but I have seen police on the bridge at least a few times. Certainly not a highly policed area, but it isn't without at least sporadic police patrol.[/QUOTE]I have been taking this bridge on my way back to USA for the last 15 years. Rare to see Policia there though I must have seen them half a dozen times over that time. I have seen security cameras on the bridge. Has the river been cleaned or still the bad odor coming up?
