Old school punks like the ones that overthrew the local government back in 1977 and established anarchy as the new law? |
You got it. |

I have; it was way back in the 7th grade, though.

I've taken my kids there, twice.

Maybe, but nobody wants the same type of bars.

Agreed. Does anyone know why the waterslides they used to have in Mexicali closed down? I never got to go.  |

| There's the thing, they can put a museum, a zoo, art gallery, etc... and no matter how great it is, how many times can you really go in a year without having seen the same shit and getting bored? Mundo Divertido was the funnest family place to go to, and you saw what happened to it, people weren't going. I did not go 1 single time in the last 2 years before they closed. Everybody is always bitching about there not being a place to go for entertainment in mex (including myself), yet we never do go to the few that we do have. Pavarotti was a once in a lifetime event here in Mexicali, and how many of you went? I know, Pavarotti does not appeal to everyone, but so what, just to be part of this incredible event that put Mexicali in the map for the world, I wasn't about to miss it. |

| About the Toboganes in Mex, they're still there at the Bosque, but they only open them in the summer time. |

Like the tub top was a fashion statement for Feminist? |
Seriously, the only people who consider Punk a fashion statement are teenagers and deadbeat "grownups." It always has been, and always will be, about the music; with the exception of bands who use fashion as a gimmick, of course, which I really enjoy if they put on a show equal to their wardrobe (i.e. The Briefs.)
Unless you are, or were, a member of The Exploited or GBH, you have no business sporting a mohawk, either. |

I took my kids to Mundo Divertido, maybe, six months before it closed, and there was a decent amount of people there. I was even thinking of having my son's birthday party there, when I found out that they had closed it down.
To be honest, I would've gone to see Pavarotti if I could have afforded it, just to say that I was there.
The problem with places in the Valley and in Mexicali is that they always think that they have to change something about the place. When they do that, they bring in a different crowd and run out the regulars. Case in point, The Bulldog was a decent sports bar and grill when they first opened up. Then they decided to cater more to the dance crowd and got rid of most of their pool tables, which lead to their downfall. |

It's not that were Punks looking for Punk things to do. We're just normal people looking for alternatives to the fresa-drone bullshit that runs rampant in Mexicali-base entertainment. |
