Gargoyle sounds like any number of folks I know from Coronado. What a history! Nick Reynolds (a Coronado boy - still around) and the Kingstons did "Tijuana Jail," when it was still fairly innocuous. Parties at the Long Bar and bad nights at the Nelson come to mind for a lot of fifties and sixties folks. We won't even mention the Blue Fox!
The really sad thing is, all of the narco-economy is based on demand from OUR side. Get rid of that and.... And yes, we do need some sort of guest worker program and we need to pay decent wages to those who labor in the fields, restaurants and hotels, etc. We also need to know who is coming and going, and why. Now, I'll throw in some local color, in the form of Mariachi music, just to justify this rather non-musical note.
