Okay so this is a great even further future AMTRAK dev plan but I still have to note the lack of connectivity for the Rio Grande Valley with the rest of Texas; I think it'd be a good idea for a state rail to run from Laredo to Brownsville then up to Corpus (and then link back around to SA or Hou)

Rail lines to Nuevo Laredo - hmmm …

And for what?!? Apprehensions are down over 90%, they’re just gonna come, be bored, and we’ll see them in the paper after getting into bar fights, or whatever trouble 😠

A new concept aims to revitalize the downtown areas of both Laredo and Nuevo Laredo.

May they rest in peace. While we know it was preventable, it does not lessen the pain the family is in.

This a more accurate description.

As I type, I can still hear it - but it’s not on the U.S. side.

Thursday 8 am: A much drier airmass is moving in from the west. This will be characterized by sunny warm afternoons and cool nights. Clearing skies midday, much drier air this afternoon and Friday afternoon, mid/high 70’s, mid/high 40’s dawn Friday.

Several cities, including Laredo, were targeted in weekend raids as part of a large-scale deportation campaign.

I’ll take it. Not the drizzle but the rest.
