Boy's Town, (or "La Zona" (en: the Zone) as it is known in Spanish), is a commercial district in the border town of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, serving primarily as a "zone of tolerance" in the city for legal prostitution, and also a variety of other nocturnal entertainment. It is a walled compound containing three short east-west streets and two short north-south streets.[1] It houses a range of brothels, bars, restaurants, small stores, a small police station, and a health clinic. It is located near the intersection of Monterrey and Anahuac Streets, about 5 km southwest of International Bridge #1.

Mexico lost a ton of money and Trade when they let the cartels take over, used to be a great city to visit right across the Bridge, this is one place where ya will find dead bodies hanging form a OverPass
My family had a ranch just southwest of Freer off 59 down Mills Bennitt road until I finished college. You'd take a left RIGHT AFTER the Checkpoint. Down that road about 5 miles and on the left. I've been to NL more times than I can count. I had the entire city clocked. Knew every bartender, taco vender, cab driver-- you name it. It was literally my getaway home. Loved the place. Absolutely loved it. I could go to senor frogs, Cadillac club, emilianos, you name it--- and everybody knew the "Tejano Grande". I could take my friends, teammates, family-- and nothing ever went wrong. Hell, I could drive over there in my Tahoe and once I'd park it in the square, you could give a dude five bucks and he'd stand there and guard your car, knowing when you returned he'd get another five dollar tip. You could take three dudes with you, drink beer all day, have lunch and go shopping and then have dinner and you'd be out a hundred bucks. The little 8 ounce Carta Blanca long necks were my favorite. Ice cold. I mean ICE cold. There was a restaurant just across the border to the north of town square that had amazing food, and the waiter would bring over a cooler jammed with ice and 8 ounce Carta Blanca beers in it. The tables all had bottle openers screwed to the side of them so you'd grab your beer and pop it open on the bottle opener and pass it to your buddy. It was great because you could drink them so fast that they never got warm. Then you'd look up and here would come the waiter jamming more beers into your ice cooler. Damn those were good days.
Then 9/11 happened and the cartel wars began and everything has changed. The last time I went down there it had a completely different feel and look. Nobody looks you in the eye anymore. Everyone walks around staring at the ground-- minding their own business-- seemingly afraid to make eye contact. It is not a welcoming place anymore. The fun has been sucked right out of the place.
As far as boystown goes-- everybody I took down there wanted to see the donkey show. I've seen it a hundred times. Papagallos was cool because during deer season, there'd be rich Houston dudes in there with their oil money, and many of the girls were from strip clubs in Houston and Austin that would work the winter only. Saw a girl in there that was a regular Dancer at the yellow rose-- she said she made ten times the money working a week at papagallos than she did dancing a month at the rose. Hard to believe-- but if you ever saw her, you'd believe it.
I know--- TLDNR.

My fraternity would charter 2 large coaches in the Springtime and we would take an overnight trip to Nuevo Laredo/Boys Town. We would ice down 4 kegs per coach. There were prolly 100 of us. We would take sorority girls/ cheerleaders etc.... It was so much fun. We would eat dinner in NL and then head to boys town til 4 am. The return trip was brutal but that was the reason for 4 kegs per coach. Clob, you are correct. Everything went south after 9/11. More things than NL have changed since 9/11 and not for the better.
Want to know what happened to Mexico?

Cartels are the scum of the earth. Frustrating that nothing gets done except for Hollywood glorification with all of the series and movies about those pigs. If you think about things in generations, Mexico is getting close to beginning a 2nd generation youngsters with full blown cartel power and influence. The more generations grow up in that kind of life the more difficult it will be to clean up-somewhat like the inner city problems that have plagued the US for decades. They have even begun sometime ago to send young men to our own military for training. Trump has publicly offered US help, unfortunately his words fall on deaf and arrogant Mexican ears.
It happened way before 9-11. We shut down the air and water routes for Colombian cocaine in the mid 80s so they had to ship it over land through Central America. The Sinaloa cartel started off growing and shipping weed across the border and ended up setting up a fairly sophisticated trafficking network that was able to ship the Colombian cocaine into the country. Once NAFTA happened in 94 the number of trucks crossing the border increased exponentially which increased opportunities for smuggling. That's when the cartel violence skyrocketed.
It's all made possible by the international banks which launder the cartel cash for pure profit. The owners of the banks... not the small time mom and pop investor but the owners of the central banks facilitate this. Fyi... central banks are not part of the government. They are wholly private businesses which are a cartel network in their own right. Who are the owners of the central banks?
It's time to take our currency back. How to fix this? Audit the federal reserve and pinpoint ownership. Next, stuff the federal reserve with government bonds.... then default on all bonds held by the federal reserve. Then, confiscate all central bank assets and call all government bonds paying all private owners their basis in full. Finally, back the dollar with a basket of 30 commodities and restrict any manipulation of the currency. Any attempt to reinstate usury should be met with hard time in the worst prisons.

I don't think it will stop the cartels. A vast majority of the Central and South American populations are unbanked. Cash is king. There is a large informal economy and there is a large distrust of large banks in Latin America.
Basically carlels ship drugs to affiliated American street gangs. Those gangs ship cash and guns back across the border. Cartels members can use that cash to purchase anything they want. Houses, Cars, Farms, Ranches. You can still by that with cash and there are plenty of ways to keep those transactions out of sight of government regulators.
The best thing that the US can do is legalize marijuana. The best single thing that Mexico could do is to legalize guns. The Zetas were originally trained in the US to fight the war on drugs.
These cartels aren't conducting billions of dollars in business in 100% cash. Even if they could, how do they clean it? The currency is deposited and laundered for use in legitimate businesses. If the banks did not perform this function, the cartels would be greatly disabled.
Removing the ability to create currency from thin air and placing the value of currency in the produce of the earth removes the power concentrated in a few banking interests and transfers power to the people who do the labor to create the produce of the earth. Power is transferred from the few to the many.
When the interests of many are served instead of a few monied individuals, shit gets done. Politicians once again serve the people and not the banking interests. If people have the power to stop crime, it stops.

Based on the reporting the ilicit drug trade was largely a cash business that is increasingly moving to crypto currency. Piles and piles of cash are shipped south of the border. There are 12 billion $100 bills in circulation. Changing from a fiat currency to a currency based on an algorithm of the value of 30 different commodities wouldn't alter the fact that criminals typically conduct their business with cash and there is plenty of money on the market to allow for those transactions to occur.
It also wouldn't really alter money laundering operations. Private banks would still take in money as legal tender. Criminal organizations would run their money though high cash transaction business and then inflate their sales and then deposit their cash into a bank. The only thing that would change is how the value of that dollar is determined. It would also still concentrate power in the hands of a few. Something like 3% of farms (large corporations) hold around 50% of the value of ag goods produced in the US each year
You are still not understanding what I am stating. This criminal behavior is all being done out in the open in defiance of standing law. (See the video above). It is being allowed because the people with the power to create our currency want it to happen so that they can take a cut of the illegal profits. The owners of the central banks buy the politicians and the judges so that law is not enforced.(See the articles referenced above). What I am proposing is taking away the power of the central banks and transferring power to the individual based on the value of each person's labor. Do you understand how money is created? Wait, I'll explain. The power to create currency by the stroke of a key or by printing paper with ink and lend it at interest is something that hasn't always existed. It's called slavery or usury in biblical terms. God forbid the Israelites from doing it.... To do it meant that they would be expelled from the land among other things. Well, what has happened? The 3% of farms you reference are owned by guess who? Oil companies, guess who? The owners of central banking take over whole industries through the leverage of the banking system and it is all propagated by the ability to create and manipulate the currency at their whim. If you put the accountability of law enforcement back into the hands of the individual, there would be huge change. It all starts with an individual owning his own labor. This starts by owning the medium of exchange. Without this ability, it is transferred to the slave owner.
Cryptocurrencies are mostly owned and manipulated by central banking through the futures market. The blockchain is a beta test for a future digital currency yet to come. You can be sure that it will further abuse the individual by stealing more of his/her labor.

February 2021--- POTUS will declare cartels as terrorist organizations and then JSOC gets let off the leash.
Can we get back to the original subject-Boys Town?! I was reminiscing. Acuna was our town of party.
They didn't get any when they went down there hill! They spent the whole time talking politics and rubbing their own balls! 2300 needs to lighten up on the Political Mexican Porn...go say hey to Sally 2300!...she wants to talk to you LOL
I never took you for a socialist. That is pretty much Marx and his Theory of the Money Commodity.
I'm not a socialist but I do believe in individual freedom. If owning 100% of my labor is in agreement with marx then so be it. Our current form of banking is theft via inflation and interest.
I spent some time in Uvalde in the early 90's. We frequented Ma Crosby's quite a bit. Great times.
Except that I am for NO taxation or so very little that the government consists of the local PD and FD and nothing else. I am tired of leaches in any form constantly trying to stick their hands in my pocket.
That's right, get off my lawn. Where is the gif of the old man in the Simpsons yelling at the clouds?
Acuna was very under rated. Lots of quality bars and a vibrant boys town of its own.
In Acuna during the 70s, we were treated well in the bars and restaurants. Only had a gun "shown" to me by a bouncer when alcohol made me argue about a price agreement. But, how in the world did we make it home in a raggedy teenage car with see air tires, into the early morning hours, alcohol in our veins, deer on the 2 lane road..?
Thats how it was for sure hill! Every time we drank a beer, we took the label off the bottle and pasted them on the windshield, it didn't take long before ys couldn't see...LOL I hold the worlds record for hit interstate signs and speed limit at 90 miles a hour throwing empty beer bottles...
When I was a wee lad i heard of guys driving from Amarillo to Acuna. That was as far back as the late 50's. Know of at least two that were killed on the drive back.
Yup that's Marx too. In November 1848 he wrote "From today, therefore, taxes are abolished! It is high treason to pay taxes. Refusal to pay taxes is the primary duty of the citizen!"
In 1852 he wrote about Napoleons Taxes
By the new markets which he opened with bayonets, and by the plundering of the Continent, Napoleon repaid the compulsory taxes with interest. These taxes were a spur to the industry of the peasant, whereas now they rob his industry of its last resources and complete his defencelessness against pauperism. An enormous bureaucracy, well gallooned and well fed, is the “Napoleonic idea” which is most congenial to the second Bonaparte.
Legalizing MJ is already happening. It I a matter of time for all states. The statistics don't look good for the states that have already legalized it, but I don't have the energy or desire to research all of the statistics that are probably related to the legalization of MJ. I personally would error on the side of slow conservative changes because once something is done, it is an impossibility to undo it. Or, the next thing is for druggies to want to legalize cocaine, then meth-It won't stop. I like some libertarian principles, but am not even close to being a true libertarian.
For what it's worth: Seems like just another confiscation of poison entering our country.
