About Me
- lynn deweese-parkinson
- I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade. My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.

Hey, didn't you already post these? I feel ripped off ;)
We're all booked up and will arrive in Tijuana May 7th and will probably stay 3 nights.
When I lived down there, we'd see one of those houses (only one) in a small town and would always comment, "that must be where the drug dealer lives."
Here we have politicians & gringos as well as drug dealers, hence many more richer homes. (Joke, folks.) More seriously, people ask me why there are fancy shopping malls, Mercedes & Mitsubishi dealers and other signs of conspicuous consumption in a place that is so poor. The answer is that in a city of about 3 million even if only 1% of the folks are rich and only 10% comfortable, middle class that means you have a town of about 33,000 well off people. Of course it also means there are about 2,967,000 poor people, mostly extremely poor, but there are plenty of folks with lots of money to support a large consumer economy.
And no, these are new photos, some folks just can't tell the difference between one example of domestic architecture and another. ;) back at'cha.
