I agree! Over the last year or so LCS seems to have forgotten its mission of community outreach. Apart from the programs at the Wilkes Center and student aid and the kid's art program it seems to have reverted to a social club and concert venue for gringos. To be honest these three outreach programs have been in place for decades so they probably have not had the chance to mess with them. Yet.4 points

What's going on at LCS? These things have all happened recently: The resignation of a progressive and well liked Executive Director. The resignation of the Treasurer. The failure to find an external auditor after over a year of searching. If a deadline had not been forced on them at the recent AGM they may still be looking a year from now. The weird 6 month extension to the President's term for reasons that seem flimsy at best. The recent board meeting demonstrating a lack of interest in members and volunteers issues that was reported in the newspaper. The AGM that was held in March where members concerns were ignored and was basically just a one-man ego show. It looks like LCS has been declining over the last one to two years. Is this the beginning of the end?3 points

The Hilton Garden Inn is directly attached to the Terminal and is easily accessed via a escalator and elevator on the newly opened section of the airport. It is right next to the Domestic Arrivals area and a deluxe new Starbucks on that end. We were just there yesterday and had lunch at the Hilton when our friend's flight was delayed/diverted to PVR before heading back to GDL. Nice looking lobby and restaurant.3 points

Probably because it is useless and even more so on weekdays. DId make a great opportunity for the person in charge to get more retirement funds.3 points

Having owned a travel agency, I would suggest buying directly from the insurance company. As an agency we sold the insurance that paid us the highest commission.3 points

Wish I could remember for sure which year we first visited Ajijic but it was either in 97 or 98 so the same timeframe. We were scouting Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta for retirement possibilities. On a whim we booked a taxi driver to show us around the Lake Chapala area. He said the best Sunday brunch was at La Nueva Posada so there we went. Great food and a lovely view of the Lake, which had not yet receded so that was our first restaurant and it certainly was "real" also. That led to us moving to Ajijic in 2001 and also in 2008 moving to PV so we experienced the best of both. Mannix was a go-to for special occasions mainly for us. The old Pampa Tango opened, was close to our B&B so it was our everyday go-to place and then of course changed names to Ajijic Tango to settle a naming dispute with the original restaurant. Yep, the good old days.3 points

So you are suggesting one needs pay an attorney to see if they have a passport from Mexico or wherever?? If they are unable to determing in what countries they are citizens..... they need much more than an attorney.3 points

I remember Manix was my first resturant I ate at in the mid 90s in Ajijic.. I was backpacking around Mexico and had the Fromers travel guide. ( no internet). I stayed in the hotel on the plaza ( 9 dollars a night. I was told if a month or more 7 bucks a night.) and the guide recommended that resturant. My fillet the one they served up till they closed was less than 3 dollars including a couple of beers.3 points

Well it THAT wasn't a bunch of goobly-gook. Rank and file users won't know anything more than they did before the change. Core vs iCore, Ultra vs not. The most important part of the old names was the 3, 5 and 7. 3 = lower power, 7 = more/most. The easiest way for the casual user to know how much power they were getting is.... the price!2 points

Be careful. They fly the wonderful 737 Max, also, they could, suddenly shut down, as other budget airlines have done. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/flair-airlines-owes-67m-in-unpaid-federal-taxes-prompting-seizure-order2 points

There was another heading currently active about Manix being "Closed" . Since that was in this forum , I put the opening info in this forum. There are two handicap access points. One is a separate entrance, with ramp, giving access to the main floor. The other gives access to the terrace. Hector has tried to think of everything. And yes he and his family have supported the Ajijic community for 37 years and he now deserves the community's support.2 points

No, if not here, it would belong in lakeside restaurants index. But I for one am happy to see it promoted here, Hector and Manix deserve the attention for all he has done and continues to do for the community both personally and professionally.2 points

Trying Flair next week from PV to Toronto, and will look forward to the September start of non-stops to and from Guad. Per Ferret and Whipstock, just pay with a well known credit card and you're fully protected in case of any default, but they seem to be past the hiccups of the plane financing and growing well. TBD.1 point

i5 (in the old lingo) is more than most of us need so don't waste your money. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-core-i5-vs-i7/ I'm still using a laptop with a mid range i5 bought in 2016. The only change I made was having a solid state hard drive put in to replace the old one. Cheapest upgrade ever at 1200 pesos and the laptop is working better than when it was new. I am not a gamer (unless you count cribbage but I do stream tv and it has made a big difference to me.1 point

Check with DanVet next to Soriana. They make house calls and do grooming so I bet they will come to your house for your senior dog.1 point

We love Rosemary Restaurante and try to support Miri and her family as she expands the restaurant's capacity by moving down Aquiles Serdán in a few weeks ("Mexican" weeks LOL). Their appetizer tacos are what Texans would call "Taco Bell tacos" and two can make a meal. Their shrimp guajillo is excellent, the chicken piccata is great and spouse is a fan of the arrachera. The cucumber lemonade is worth the price of admission and, If Miri has her lemon pie, pre-order it before your meal; you will be disappointed if it sells out. Pricing is reasonable for what you get. That said, and for full transparency, there's a few kinks they are aware of and are hoping the move will address: the entrance is through a four-step stairway on Hidalgo--not the easiest for people with mobility issues to navigate. There will have much more space and eliminate this issue in the new space. Miri's kitchen is small and insufficient to meet the popularity of her restaurant. This can result in long wait times to receive your order--sometimes 45 minutes or so. I was told last week that also will be addressed by having access to a larger kitchen and more restaurant-capable appliances when they move. Please give it a try; I always make reservations--sometimes needed, sometimes not. Yes, English is spoken by the waitstaff. Tel 33 1026 4395 FYI Miri also offers gift certificates!1 point

It is not illegal to turn left on a regular green when the intersection is clear in this country. Many if not most traffic lights do not have protected left. When else are you supposed to turn left? I would contest this ticket. When they removed the "Only" sign they removed the restriction. The cop is going on the past. Surprised he didn't try to shake you down.1 point
