To prevent imposters from robbing Guadalajara citizens, the Jalisco Health Department (SSJ) has released images of what the genuine workers from its “dengue brigades” look like.
Having spent most of August living in Guadalajara’s International Airport, U.S. citizen Brenda Janet Castro reportedly returned to make the terminal her home throughout much of the last month, before leaving again in mid-October.
The city’s third Tren Ligero (light train or subway) line should not run through the downtown area anywhere near the Metropolitan Cathedral, says Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñíguez, the former archbishop of Guadalajara.
More than 7,500 people were evacuated from their homes in Tlajomulco Wednesday when gasoline from a damaged underground Pemex pipeline spouted 20 meters into the air just yards from a densely populated residential neighborhood. Fortunately, emergency workers managed to control the leak before the gasoline ignited.
Jalisco Governor Aristoteles Sandoval plans to introduce a second Macrobus line on Guadalajara’s notoriously dangerous Periferico beltway.
For decades, families have been coming to the Day of the Dead market in downtown Guadalajara’s Parque Morelos to purchase materials for Day of the Dead altars.
Next weekend, Guadalajara city hall hopes to erect the biggest altar to the dead Jalisco (and perhaps Mexico) has ever seen in the Agua Azul Park. The effort is part of a campaign to regenerate interest in this downtown Guadalajara park that once was the pride and joy of the “City of the Roses.”
A frustrated student from Monterrey went off script and criticized the government while delivering the closing address at the 11th International Business Summit held at the Expo Guadalajara this week.
The Day of the Dead has little to do with morbidity. Not only is it a way for Mexicans to poke some fun at death – a natural stage in the life cycle, we often forget – but in so doing they also convey a great respect for life.
