Lulugirl Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 The precedent was set on 16 de Septiembre when the illegal extra floor was added and nothing was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the people in the video appear to be 'Guad Squad'. Are there any residences there yet? Or is it strictly a private yacht club with restaurant? And is the restaurant open to the public, or only to members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that some sort of profiling purely based on "appearance" but similar to New Brunswicker's being called herring chokers based on regionality and perceived diet of denizens of same? I have actually been at the club, invited by a member but never has herring been on the menu to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is a form of profiling, but it's based on knowledge of the lower La Floresta area, and the Lakeside Mexican residents that live there full-time. And as far as the Maritime provinces, yes, we have 'Herring Chokers' from New Brunswick, 'Blue Nosers' from Nova Scotia, and 'Spud Islanders' from Prince Edward Island. I lived there for many years, and no one was offended by these terms. In fact, if you're weren't born in the Maritimes, no matter how many years you lived there, you were a 'C.F.A.' (Come-from-away).

ned small Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 That's amazing that you have the talent to know the difference in looks between a Mexican full time resident of La Floresta and a Mexican from Guadalajara. Is the Guinness Book of Records aware of your awesome observation skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBearII Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I am one of those people who refer to the "Guad Squad." These are people from Guadalajara who have weekend homes here, or who come here to visit for a day or two on the weekends. It is not, to me, a pejorative term. Just means I have to either stay home on weekends or fight the aggressive traffic and beware of drivers who may be a couple of sails to the wind. It is the price I pay to live in an attractive place. No different from what people face in Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, or any other place where people like to spend weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 We do the same as you here in Puerto Vallarta. Between the bus trips coming in from far away and the nationals who live in the general area every weekend sees a huge influx of folks enjoying the beach. Weekends belong to the Mexicans and that is fine with us and other expats we know. Sunday afternoons are not the best time to be on the roads in Mexico. We get plenty of Guad Squaders also and we just hope they support the local economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
