We went to three border towns, Progresso, Matamoros and Reynosa. We were planning on going all the way to Laredo and head north on 35 from there but ran out of time. Yes, Texas took up a lot of it.

Was it Matamoros that got the big stores? I recall a few years ago of one of the towns had a bad fire and photos of it showed shacks with big oversized plywood midway-type facades. Was that Progresso?

Hubby said he did a Google walk through one of them and I haven't checked it out yet.

Nuevo Progresso is where we loved to go, I found a link that shows you pictures.

PROGRESSO

The 'rabbit warren bazaar' is what burned in Matamoros years ago. Reynosa never had much to offer.
