I was in Monterrey a year ago...Boy they must have done some miracles since I left.......Oh see I was there on a Mission Trip. I got to see the underbelly of the beast...14 people living in a two room cinder block house.No telephone lines..dirt streets..(and this was a "middle class" neighborhood)

See the Volkswagon cabs running along side the horse and carts on paved highways..

Monterrey is a city full of warm and wonderful people..but a model I thnk not..

On second thought it may be what the US will look like in the One World Bush Order)

I used to live in Monterrey, a million years ago, and it was a beautiful city with wide esplanades and very hospitable to Americans.

I've returned recently and now, I'd say it has modern parts, but mostly is an industrial city that is popping at the seams. It's also Mexico, which means that it has incredible poverty at the lower end of the scale.

I'm glad it's continuing to modernize, and I hope it becomes completely Americanized.

But basically, it's a dump, and I don't care if I never see it again.
