Last month traveled to the famous alley in TJ to see all the ladies and ones on Constituction Ave. felt like being in a candy store. The ones that stood in front of the first hotel on the right side of the alley were great. Visited that area most, and the rest of the alley had great women scattered on both sides forgot their names though except for Nancy.
Thought the best bar/club was Hong Kong, but they need to turn down the music. Adelita bar is still there same atmosphere; quality of women has gone way down. Noticed several of them moved to Hong Kong. Chicago still has it going on but it is one tenth of what it used to be, slowest bar of the three. Believe Chavela’s bar is going to give Adelita and Chicago a run for its money in the near future.
Consequently, one guy was robbed on the hill, next corner from the alley on Constituction at approximately 8:30AM. Heard he will never return, do not blame him. To add someone gets mugged roughly once a week or so at that location. What was ironic that was roughly the same time I went up that hill every day, on that day took another route.
With US, economy-tanking thieves are becoming bolder, of course with support from local law enforcement. Since they are always around even when you do not need them.
On my last day there, was drinking a beer on hotel property next to the street and talking to a few Americans who live at Hotel Leyva. As luck would have it, someone called tj police was taken to the truck, padded down, and next thing I knew was in the back of the truck with lights on. What was interesting is a Federal cop from DF Mexico was in charge, after I pleaded my case let the local cop know that I was on private property, but he still wanted cash or face the judge...well I said lets go. The guy in charge asked how long had I been there, and what was the nature of my visit, then one of the Americans came out yelling at the cop in charge and within a few minutes was released. In the end, I refused to give local law enforcement any cash.
Crossing the border to US was another story...almost same thing happened once I mentioned what hotel I staying in.
Overall, it was a great trip with a few hick ups!
