LETTERS TO EDITOR

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Sep 4, 2012 | Letters to the Editor |

Hello my name is Monica, I have been living in Rocky Point for the last 6 months and I really enjoy it. I also enjoy every month the new issue of The Rocky Point Times. I noticed in this last issue an article titled “What happened to Montezuma” by Rosarie Salerno. Even though the article is pretty good the name of the Emperor of Tenochtitlan is not MoNtezuma, it’s MoCtezuma, with a C. I believe there is a character in US history with the other name and maybe that is the reason for the mistake.

I learned from his mother that Francis

Living at the beach there is one thing for sure – home maintenance. Over the years that I have been here I’ve had the privilege of getting to know some really great guys that have worked for me – building the house, repairing, and maintaining. I want to introduce you to three of them and recommend that if you need anything done at your house or condo, they are a great resource. There are many other very talented construction guys in town but here’s the low-down on my guys.

Rain and Running Washes in Southern Arizona & Sonoyta

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Sep 4, 2012 | Debbie Christofferson |

In Rocky Point last weekend, the weather turned a bit steamy as it always does in late July, and the breeze was anemic. But our beach front pool provided refreshment (and so did our air conditioning, and early morning deck perch!). Laguna Shores looked pretty busy with weekenders and summer vacationers, but less busy than 4th of July week. We stayed in this weekend and didn’t venture into town, except for Pemex gas on our way home (~$2.50/gallon). Sonoyta’s speed trap was in place when we entered the town, and someone was getting a ticket. Remember to slow down. Clear Sailing Through Lukeville Border
