Another state makes face masks outdoors optional. There are more caca water sightings (smellings?) in El Centro. What about that new bar in 5 de Diciembre! We have quite a few leisurely things to share! PLUS, as our two-year anniversary nears, we begin a series of appreciation and awareness initiatives.

Nuevo Leon becomes the first state to eliminate face masks in public places. 3.5 hectares were damaged in yesterday’s El Salado Fire. Or possibly 4. It’s been four days and the city workers union is very, very quiet. PLUS, more woes along Montessori St.

Two enormous fires painted the sky yesterday. The homeless move in at Fluvial. Carnival celebrates 50 years docking in town. Upcoming sporting events are announced. PLUS, how was the Querétaro soccer team fined and what will be its future?

More Covid vaccine campaigns are forthcoming. Yesterday they marched. Today, they don’t work. Mercado Libre gets hacked. Vallarta-Nayarit hotels are having a shindig, but who’s footing the bill? PLUS, it’s Walking Wednesday, but are we walking? Are we touring?

We follow up on the Saturday football tragedy in Querétaro and the municipal workers’ strike. Hotels are hoping for 100 percent occupancy by Semana Santa. Another croc on the loose is caught. PLUS, we found out how to see a shrink for free in Guadalajara and tell you all about it.

So much for cheerful news this morning. What a pickle the weekend was! Bengal tigers were left to starve to death… a taxi driver is suspended for being an a-hole… and the saturday incident that put Mexico in the international spotlight… PLUS, what can go wrong these days when your restaurant’s signature dish is… poutine?
