Any Santa Fe bridge walkers?
Have any of you bridge walkers noticed if UNO or the old Juarez Turf Club has opened? I'm not a big fan of Caliente.
UNO supposedly bought the old Turf Club and was in the process of renovating it when they "suddenly closed". I was wondering if they got their papers in order.
If anyone notices if either of these two are open over the weekend, please post it?
Wednesday Night 8/29/07 Pink Lady
Crossed the Santa Fe (Paso Del Norte) Bridge approximately 8p. M. No pedestrial line either way and the line of cars was noticeably short stretching back just over the hump of the bridge. Direct route to Pink Lady going behind the cathedral looking for the SMart sign to orient to Altamirano and look for the red arrow sign in front of Pink Lady. My friend was "busy" occupada. She came out later and sat for drinks and was friendly and affectionate while I just observed the place. Angel the bartender was nice and helpful and Yolanda was also nice and friendly. They actually let me wait without ordering a drink to see if my friend would show up, Saw a guy pay $100 us dollars for a lay, but I figure quite a bit of that was tied into the cabbies tip/finders fee/whatever. When I do goign I'm goign to try to bring my friend to the room for $50-$60 bucks but that will be stretching my bargaining skills to the max. Thought it prudent to take a cab back to the bridge around 12:30am due to two stories I've heard recently of people being robbed. Crossing the bridge was routine. I plan to go back and do my friend, just a matter of scheduling and mullah.
Jessica/Panama Bridge Fees
I stopped by the Panama last night and was told that, unfortunately, Jessica is in Mazatlan. Her sister does work at the Panama. Have any of you mongers heard any different? I wonder how true this is?
Now if you want to drive over the downtown bridge, it will cost you $2. 25, which will also mean that Mexico will soon raise its fee, too, to keep up. That increase is ridiculous, it is a hefty 27 per cent increase. I unfortunately voted for John Cook for mayor because former mayor Wardy increased the bridge fee from $1. 25 to $1. 65. I will now use the free Codoba Bridge by car to enter Juarez, and folks, be sure to remember this when Cook and his crew come up for re-election. I certainly will.
Things like Jessica at the Panama and a still high $1. 65 bridge fee are now all but forgotten. It's called Murphy's Law.
