PUTTING A RUMOR TO REST

I hear there's a rumor floating around out there that a mother and her daughter were run off the side of the road and murdered by Federales...well, I have to say:

IT'S NOT TRUE!

Drawn from a reliable source of mine who made a quick phone call to the feds, we determined it's not true - not even close.

Word to the wise: Don't believe everything they tell you on TV! 

Geez...

MORE GRAPEVINE WHISPERINGS

Just some tid-bits:

Steve got fired/quit from parasailing - don't know which company, don't know the guy...just heard about it...

Reid and Monica are halving their time down here (which is SMART) to make some dough up north while this market situates itself - BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH!

DERMOTOLOGY CLINIC COMING SOON?

Amidst the mugginess and balmy breeze last night, Bill Barvitzski dropped a chunk of 411 on a dermotology clinic being opened here in Rocky Point! 

Sounds like something we need to investigate more on - all of the employees are doctors, not esthiticians, so it could be a GREAT merger for Sanctuary to do business with them and vice versa...imagine the services both entities could offer if we join forces!

Stay tuned for more as it develops...

ROCKY POINT REAL ESTATE BUZZ...

I received a loud whisper that FMI bought our Realty Execs...is that true?? Who's got the scoop?!

Sanctuary is hopping a little bit today - sorry I'm not writing more!

CALIFORNIA AND GAY MARRIAGE

SAN FRANCISCO - California counties can issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples beginning June 17, the state said in a directive issued Wednesday...

Click here to read the rest of this article. It's great that Cali jumped on board to allow same-sex marriage. It IS 2008, after all! Progress is essential, we just hope that tolerance will go along with these changes.

NOT TOO CLOSE, BUT NOT SO FAR, EITHER

What an interesting article on NASA's Phoenix Mars lander:

NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander spent its first full day in the Martian arctic plains checking its instruments in preparation for an ambitious digging mission to study whether the site could have once been habitable...

ROCKY POINT'S OTHER MARINA...

We received this info this morning:

Cholla Bay Marina STOPPED! April 7th, 2008 The Federal Environmental Authorities (SEMARNAT) in Sonora determined that the construction of the Sandy Beach Marina on top of Estero La Cholla was not viable due to the potential environmental damage it could cause. This controversial project threatened the integrity of the Upper Gulf Biosphere Reserve and the productivity of this wetland. Estero La Cholla, along with the other wetlands in this region, is of great importance for the health of the Sea of Cortés, as it is a nursery for several marine species such as shrimp, flounder and blue crab. Also, its nutrient contribution to the Gulf of California represents the base of the food web, making this place one of the five most diverse ecosystems in the world...(for the whole enchilada, email us, and we'll fwd it to you: mynparty@yahoo.com.mx)

We're glad - we live in a world of dwindling resources as it is - we don't need to plow through anything else that we don't absolutely have to! Maybe they will increase the size of the marina we already have!

PLAYING CATCH UP...

We've been OH SO horrible at blogging these past few days...keep checking back TODAY for new posts, juice, and events coming up!!

ANOTHER POLL...

In regards to this article, do you think that the statement

"Last we heard, Playa Azul gave back 85% of the investors' money they had in the project."

Represents fact, opinion, or heresay?

Cast your vote!

AZ REPUBLIC - GET OFF OUR BACK!

We're sorry, but can the AZ Republic EVER write something GOOD about Rocky Point? Every single one of the last 3 or 4 articles have been negative. Never do they point out all the good things, like the airport or the coastal highway or the new infrastructure we have, or the great things that Americans are doing to help the less privilaged or the charity events sending hundreds of kids to school, or the clean up efforts - the beach comber, the new garbage trucks, the animal control diminishing the number of stay animals, or the paving of SO many streets, the health inpectors cracking down on restaurant food handling standards...are you seeing where we're going with this? The list is endless.

Maybe if they interviewed people other than those that shelled out tons of cash without seeing anything but sand dunes, then they'd get a better perspective of what's really going on here...

Bad real estate transactions happen everywhere, even in the USA - A.R.M's anyone?? If that wasn't pulling the wool over people's eyes, then we don't know what was. Some of those companies never disclosed that the rates would sky rocket in 3-5-7 years causing the USA housing market would crash like it has.

There are PLENTY of happy investors here that did their homework before throwing their life savings and what not into their real estate purchase.

PS: Last we heard, Playa Azul gave back 85% of the investors' money they had in the project.

PARADISE BEACH CLUB???

What's going on at Paradise? We hear that they're trying to start up again...any info would be great, if you have it!

ACROPOLIS FOR SALE

We just got wind that Acropolis on Sandy Beach for sale... to the tune of $18.5 MILLION! Any info you can give would be great!

Chismes!

So far this week, we've heard:

The ex-Mayor of Caborca is running for Senator

Penasco's "Gold Coast" is what they are calling Desemboque, Santo Tomas, and Puerto Lobos

Someone got THROWN OUT of Capone's over the weekend for being biligerent

We're sad we missed the last one! Any more rumors out there?
