  1. I'm seeing over 17 pesos to the dollar. Significant jump in a few days. Anyone know why?
  2. I expect they have it at Home Depot but hoping to not have to go into GDL for it. Something like these:
  3. Now if one is coming west on the macrolibremiento and wants to go south on Chapala highway is there a way to do this without going to the retorno of death? i can't believe they let them build that road with such an absolutely hazardous non interchange with a major four lane road like Chapala highway.
  4. We were fans for years but simply find Bruno's too pricey for having to put up with a lot of street noise and very skimpy pours. We buy excellent steaks at Costco along with Idaho potatoes and good wine and enjoy quiet meals on our Terraza for considerably less. Didn't use to see empty tables there but the last few times we went, we did.
  5. It is not illegal to turn left on a regular green when the intersection is clear in this country. Many if not most traffic lights do not have protected left. When else are you supposed to turn left? I would contest this ticket. When they removed the "Only" sign they removed the restriction. The cop is going on the past. Surprised he didn't try to shake you down.
  6. Two things: First, the market has slowed significantly. Some suggest it is because of exchange rate shock others point to overly ambitious pricing. Look at the properties for sale in your area and do an honest comparison of features and price to yours. In a slow market the best pricing strategy is to offer more value for money than the competition. Make sure you have prepared the places well, decluttered, manicured landscaping, paint and repairs where needed. Second, look for the agency or agent that seems to sell more homes in your area. Folks, as a real estate company owns this board please respond to this request via PM, thanks.
  7. Anyone who has lived here for years knows how Chapala and the cops work and are "motivated." Anyone who doesn't must have been living under a rock. Transito games around the holidays in particular are well known though I have to say those seem to have decreased significantly over the 15 years we've lived here. As noted previously, there are great numbers of legitimate and real violations for them to raise money off of these days. Maybe that's why the "conjured up variety have decreased.
  8. Image on Facebook from 8 hours ago. This is a big one.
  9. My understanding is Mexicans don't normally tip cab drivers. Has this changed?
