| Wow, you'd find it very different here from '93. Zona Rosa is virtually an all gay district now. |

Wow. I guess the city really has changed When I was there, it was just this posh district that was a little cut off from the center....I wonder if it�s considered like central DF now, too. I was only there for about a week, but still.
Also, when you consider the name, I guess it kind of makes sense  |

True. Strip clubs, excuse me, Gentlemen's Clubs also abound. It's still pretty good though with a few nice patios off the main strip.
Now the Centro Historic is a real treat...city gov and private investement put 150 million dollars into a major renovation. It's now safe at night, much cleaner, well lit, and nicely decorated. Much more family oriented now, at least the major parts of it near Bellas Artes, Motolina, Gante, and Madero. |

Guy,
I much prefer that avatar. Man, the flashy, seizure-inducing one was very disturbing.
I put my future self on the map. It wouldn't accept China (and fair enough, for a Latin America forum), but I wanted to belong. (sniff) I miss Mexico.
I'll be in Eugene, Oregon early 2006, and back to Mexico ASAP. Maybe I should have put myself in Tijuana?? |

Yeah, I was getting complaints about the subliminal advertising...
Are you from Eugene? Weird, but we've had several people teaching here in Mexico City that came from that place, which I understand to be quite small.
I'm starting to see a connect-the-dots picture out of those pins on the map (if it weren't for that damn France one). It's a picture of...of... |

Naw,
I've never even BEEN to Eugene. My mum lives near there, and it's a college town with some sort of music scene, and I've got a couple of teaching job possibilities lined up. That's all. I'm actually from L.A. (in this case, that means Los Angeles, not Latin America). |

Just fulfilling one of my life's ambitions, to be an extraneous appendage!

Is that a PC way of saying *beep* envy? |
