Thought someone would pickup on this. These are two different news reports by KRGV. One is about the shootings the other is a travel warning issued Aug 23, 2014. And there are other warnings about travel to Mexico, this one is a warning for travel to Progresso.
I agree there are bad places in the good ole USA. But with one big difference, Mexico is a third world country. If I was hurt, arrested or in any sort of difficulty I would rather be in the worst part of Chicago than the best part of Mexico. I like going to the green taco stand and the Red Panty Bar as much as anyone. And I have been going for 8 seasons. But any wise traveler should want to know as much possible about thier destination. Then you can weigh the rewards against the risk. Is the reason my wife and I go worth taking a chance. We leave here Oct. 1 for the valley. We will wait till we get there to decide. But maybe instead of the Red Panty Bar for that drink we will go to Chilis.
