Anybody from Socal go to TJ

[RallyCola]

fucked up but true story.

my boss was half drunk when we were at a meeting in San Diego and I convinced her to go to TJ. We drove down, she took a couple looks around then said she wasn't going to get out of the car...she was scared of the area. We ended up getting lost en route back to the US and drove around TJ for 30 min but never actually got out of the car. That was my only time in TJ thought I've been back to SD many times since then.

I haven't been to Tijuana in years, probably 15 years. I too have thought about taking the train, but I haven't done it yet. It is like most cities in the world. There are bad areas and bad things could happen, but that is true for Los Angeles as well. My advice is to be polite, respectful, and don't get drunk. Common sense. There is too much fear connected to poor TJ.

For some reason the people I talk to are afraid to go to TJ. They will go to Panama and Brazil but not TJ lol. Is there that much of a difference in safety?

that area is still in civil war, so the economy is fucked up! I wouldnt take and of my cars there....just a shithole.
Spend the extra bucks go to a nicer area of Mexico.

Ugh...

Safety is not an issue, seems only.... Oh nevermind. Its safe to go down there; I personally know a few people who go down on a regular basis and people that live down there full-time (TJ, Playa, etc) from deported vets to divorced men put in the poorhouse by the ridiculous family court system.

BlkGSXR, no beef but given the extra cost in many cases twice or three times as much as local action (SD, OC, LA). The cost savings alone will get you another session or two compared to one session here.

In fact I have personally done sub-$100 runs to TJ and the results compared to locally are exactly the same. I say the value overrides any overblown safey concerns.

Like anything else in life, you are suppose to use best judgement. I often find people who find themselves in trouble are either looking for it or dull the senses (drinking, drugs).

My suggestion is just go, park your car on this side of the broader and use a taxi or do what I do walk across and walk down to Revolution.

If you wanna know where to exactly find TS, PM me as locations change from time to time.

What dj4monie said is right on.

I've gone down there many times, and no problems.

girls are cheaper, but some times the service is not all that good, but plenty to choose from.

Just don't flash your bling and cash around or act like a Ahole you should be fine.

Maybe its changed in the last couple years but I remember a placed filled with TG girls in the "Gas light" district. They were not all hookers either lots of Asian week-end girls and full time girls who were nurses. The name escapes me at the moment but I will post it when it comes to me (It was across the street from a store that sold almost nothing but condoms and lubes). There was also a Trans show at another club a short distance away. Those girls would take care of you after the show for a reasonable rate, but I never cared for Car dates.

Yes, that was in 80s and 90s, was it not?

Well there's safety in numbers, so whenever you wanna be a wing, let me know.

I walk down to Revo at night, again there's no safety issues. Its around 7-8pm at night there's plenty of people around. The safety concerns are overblown and its really impacted TJ's economy, some say for the better, because more above board businesses like restaurants and other legit forms of tourism have been making a comeback of sorts.

G.I's are told not to go down but many SDSU students still hit the strip because of course the legal drinking age is lower.

As far as flash goes, you know Black people don't have any money...I don't dress as if I stepped out of an issue of KING or The Source, so nobody bothers me. I even left my cellphone with a Taxi Libra driver because I ran out of cash and couldn't pay my fare. I confirmed with a expat that his word was good so when I came down the next week, I paid my fare and I got my phone back untouched.

As I have said before, there places in LA I wouldn't be caught dead in at night and we all speak the same language.
