Outside downtown and Closing up shop

[Pompal 09.]

Here is the latest word on the closing of downtown.

The target is not just the strip bars. It is the whole Mariscal St. from top to 16 de Sept. The idea is to demolish both sides of the street and create a tourist zone, you know, shops and shit like that.

What is up in the air is the bars on Santos de Gollado, Rancho Grande, Queens Place and Virginias bar. Further down S de G is the brothel, Panama Club and the out of the way brothels, Casa Colorada and Pink Ladies.

The local papers give me the impression that they will be shut down as well because they are using prostitution as a target as part of the clean up.

I think what it boils down to is plain old capitalism. But at least (what I am told) the property owners will be paid for their properties. Not like the revitalization plan for downtown El Paso where developers are so greedy they want to steal properties for their benifit by using eminit domain.

Now thats half the plan. Whats the other half? Where are we going to have fun? When and where will they build the zona? Mps are great but I like the strip bars as well and the strip clubs outside downtown are far apart and the chicas are expensive.

I will be keeping my eyes an ears open for any new developments.

A friend of mine and me went to Jokers Gold Thursday night for the first time. Nice looking place, no cover but the damn drinks are 5 bucks which is ok I guesss considering thats what it takes to get into Tequila Sunrise in El Paso so I'll stop my bitchin'.

Really nice place and the chicas are alot better looking than downtown but so are the prices all around. Ladies drinks are 10 bucks, private dances are 2 for 30 behind a curtain which is within eye shot of the DJ, so not so private. I was quoted 150USD for a trip to the balcony which includes everything.

My friend bought 4 "private" songs and then went up to the balcony for an extra 100 which sort of goes with what I said, 150.

A couple of Queens Place ladies are working at Jokers Gold.

The best way to get to Jokers Gold is to cross the Zaragosa bridge into Mexico, follow the curve to the right and keep going. When you see an approaching intersection keep an eye left and look for the Casa Blance drive in motel. Jokers Gold is just passed that. I recommend.

Now for some bad news. I know I have mentioned this before but now I am hearing this from more people. The plan is to shut down the clubs downtown in December and move them to a zona similar to boystown in Nuevo Laredo.

Last night I hit downtown and did some investigating and I am now hearing the word on the street that this will happen. I was told the zona will be south of Juarez outside of town and its not even built yet. So that means there is gonna be some lag time between the shut down and construction of a zona. That sucks.

It is not know if this will affect the brothels, Panama Club, Casa Colorada, and the Pink Ladies since they are a bit off the beaten path. But then so are the clubs we love so much.

All this in the name of improving tourism. The plan is to clean up downtown and increase tourism and keep decent folk from being exposed to the bad elements which makes no sense. Tourists go down in the day time when the clubs are mostly closed.

But this won't affect my website, I plan on providing the best information and entertainment that I possibly can, my feet will always be on the ground. I will be keeping my eyes and ears open on anything that might be of interest.

Damn the Bob Dylan for writing that song, "oh the times, they are a changin".

This sucks
