That is why when I finally had an afternoon off from work, several weeks ago, I jumped at the chance to once again cruise the crazy streets of Downtown Laredo, where drug deals, rancherismo-dancing, prostitution, panhandlers and cheap, electronic knockoffs keep my blogging back for more.
Perfect afternoons away from the work are a rarity for me, so I decided to unwind by sipping on a Ziggy-sixer and stumbling down the streets of my beloved hometown. Below you will find of few of the things I encountered on this particular occasion.
 |
| Who says we have no culture in Laredo? Modern art is everywhere. |
 |
| Downtown, they take their patriotic duties very seriously. Shops get closed for God and Country. |
 |
| I was surprised at the amount of shops closed on this particular day. Is it El Guapo's birthday or something? |
 |
| You can stand in the middle of the street on Salinas Ave at 4:30pm and not worry about a thing. (except maybe the meter maids) #LackOfParking |
 |
| Wow! Downtown landlords don't mess around. If you dont pay your rent you get shut down and go the way of Munden's or the Playmore. #GoneButNotForgotten
So my day off was not a total waste. I was able to get my cheap electronics fix, buy an elote, gaze at the lovely Senoritas before calling it a day by wandering into one of several downtown cantinas. All in days blog. You see how I sacrifice myself for you readers. Keep blogging back for more Laredo downtown afternoon delights.
