EspeZIHalidad Tropical

I suppose there must of been a big sale on these palms as they are planting more and more. Pulling up the freshly laid pavers, typical. Probably run a new sewer line down the middle in a couple of weeks. I have a name for the new plantation of palms

"Palma de Soldado" They look very silly all in rows.

Kind of like the "Terracotta Army".

I agree, it looks extremely silly and poorly designed.

So I guess it isn't a plaza or a zócalo anymore, because those are supposed to be large open areas for gathering. Amazing the arrogance of the current city government ruining our waterfront and turning it into some grotesque concrete monstrosity with no soul that looks nothing like Zihuatanejo. But hey, someone who sells concrete and palm trees certainly made some money.

And BIG NEW PALAPAS with HUGE CONCRETE POSTS are being built on the beach for 3 or 4 restaurants. Beaches are not supposed to have any permanent constructions on them. So now we have lost an important part of our beach area to concrete and illegal constructions. Big vote-buying gifts for the fishermen and the restaurants, big smack in the face for the rest of us.

What we used to call a jardín in front of our home for the past 50 or so years is no longer any such thing, either. This project by the city and state governments is extremely disappointing, to say the least.
