Some of us seem to be feeling a bit more nervous than usual. Thanks, Rob.

Hey, after growing up living with a nuclear bulls-eye on my back as a U.S. citizen, I refuse to live in fear here in Mexico. Then later during the 70's and 80's some of us openly defied wannabe terrorists by wearing symbolic bulls-eye t-shirts back when the USA was still the "home of the brave". Almost seems silly in comparison for visiting U.S. citizens to be all jittery and for their government to issue warnings about Mexico's narco violence while they long ago caved in to wannabe terrorists.

It is finally on Despertar de la Costa. Check their FB page.

And by the time police arrived they didn't find anything. So taking into account that they usually never arrive to any shooting until at least 25 minutes after the last shot was fired, no surprise there.

Could've been just some drunk vacationers from the interior celebrating their last days before heading home. Hearing gunfire during night has never been unusual during all the years I've lived here.

The fact that you folks could hear clear across town in the middle of the night means the bars must've turned down their noise. That's a good sign.

Several friends in various parts of town also reported hearing gunfire during the night. Madera and Gema, to name two. The new normal?

Not new at all, the shooting of the young man on the corner of Nicolas Bravo and Vicente Guerrero was last April and it has been nonstop since then.

ya, lets keep it a secret so others here are kept uninformed.

Note the quick edit in Katherine's post requesting a PM. LOL

Awoken to extended machine gun fire. No mention on any of the usual FB news sites. Or is it so often/usual that unless someone is killed in the crossfire it is not worth mention. So weary of it.

Me too!
