I had no idea either. 400k is double the population of Birmingham,AL. But I would not know, I'll never go to that shithole known as Texas unless Auburn is playing for the NC there.

The low price of the peso has really sparked wealth in the area as well.

gotcha. i stay around that area a lot, but i don't do hooters. there's a nice older christian lady that checks my work credit card bill, so strip clubs and breastarants are a no go.

next time you're down there, try republic of the rio grande or il divino

I use to frequent Santa Fe Steakhouse (and not the chain) ... enjoyed many great steaks there ... and stayed at the Embassy Suites, which I believe has been renovated and re-branded as the Doubletree.

CC getting a lot of hate in here. No surprise since all OTers live in the maldives and use BR/NOLA as a proxy address.

Count me in.

I thought it was a tiny coastal town where old people retire.

I was genuinely ignorant and surprised. I'm not "hating" anything. I thought the picture I posted looked nice and I have no other basis of opinion on the place.
