City of Calexico

Nice little town; I could live here if it weren’t for the damned summer bugs and 100+ degree heat! That and it could use some more variety stations on the radio. Fortunately, there’s a Starbucks so if necessary I could get free Wi-​Fi when necessary. Of course being so close to the border has its ups and downs, but on the up side, I don’t have to put too much thought into where to go for a week or less vacation! Between October and March it’s great! I love the cold nights and mild days. I just hope the local radio station decides to incorporate and use a «rock» format if not totally Metal even though most people such as myself use Pandora and streaming radio on my phone; I guess I pretty much answered my own question there. Now if only there was a way to get rid of the goddamned bugs and blistering Summer heat I would consider getting a house there! I lived in Palmdale which isn’t much different except the snow and black ice in the Winter and of course about 50 miles away from civilization as opposed to 100 miles from Calexico to the nearest metropolitan city. There is still much development needed there even though the Summer weather is terrible; the fact that I hadn’t been through there in 4 years and returned just last May and found a Starbucks and Super Walmart there was a glimpse of optimism!

Very hot closest you can get to Mexico without being in Mexico.

Calexico is a lovely city full of friendly people.

Thank God, I’m back in the USA!!! Not, the prettiest cities of the Imperial Valley, yet! But, on the road to recovery. Stop by our many fast food places or gas stations before entering Mexico.

damn, scary!

Just got back and guess what? It really hasn’t improved any since 6 months ago. The people are very friendly-​especially if you habla espanol. Fine dining=Applebee’s. It’s still quite windy and dusty. I go there for a reason and the city serves its purpose. I’m always happy to come home to San Diego
