BooBar, One of Malecon’s Most Popular Hang Outs, Continues to Sizzle!

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Jul 1, 2014 | Joe Houchin |

With happy customers leaning out the large windows beckoning to ambulant visitors on the main street below, it’s hard, nearly impossible, not to find and climb the steep stairway leading to the contagious revelry permeating throughout the colorful décor of the BooBar. It’s small but never seems cramped, and the views from either side lead to the street action below on the Malecón or to the infinite beauty ever-abounding upon the Sea of Cortez.

Editorial July 2014

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Jul 1, 2014 | Editorial |

Where to start? Where to start? So many things going on in Rocky Point, so much has happened and so many things coming up – this is getting to be a full time job keeping up! We didn’t get into this business to work all of the time, as evidenced in Tom’s July 1996 Editorial. I do believe that Sandy’s Birthday celebrations that year were some of the most memorable times – it was 2+ weeks of friends, family, ATV’s (ATC’s back then), partying, hitting the beach, boating to San Felipe, train station tacos, Playa Bonita Happy Hours, JJ’s Cantina cherry bombs, lunch and drinks at Manny’s, dinner at Margaritavilla and sunsets at La Casa del Capitan. I could go on, but a lot of you remember those days and still have quite a few of your own. Reading old Editorials brings back some great memories.
