We had the honor of hosting the monthly meeting for Los Cabos Concierges Association. It was a great opportunity for all of them to get to see first hand the quality of the fine art in the gallery and also its location. Many of them did not know where we are, and still others did not know we even existed. Each concierge now has the book "Romance of Cabo" showcasing Cabo's premier art gallery and artists to show their respective clients. It is very unusual for them to visit art galleries but they did feel the need to get to know part of the local art scene because so many of their clients, they said, ask where to go for fine art.
They had various speakers promoting their businesse around town. That is me up there talking about the gallery and the advantage of having shows in their hotels. Hopefully, arelationship will develop from this exchange. One of the concierge bought a paintingby Marilyn Hurst right then and there, so I say that is a good sign!

Meeting with Francisco Rincon of Par Vial for the Baja Business People Meeting on November 7th at Scoop Supper Club (For more on the Baja Business People Meetings, go to http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/BBPMeetings/?yguid=253102909) Well, this time, Mr. Rincon did show up for the meeting, equipped with a lap top and the intention of giving the 50 + people in attendance a power point presentation on the conclusion of the Par Vial project. He had been a no-show at our last meeting in July, because his assistant never told him about it, he said.
But showed up he did. Energy was high, the place was buzzing. The presentation he intended to give us centered on the questions the BBP sent all of you with the invite.
He started by explaining that he is only the PR for the Par Vial and has basically no say in its management. His boss is Javier Morales – maybe we should have had him there. Mr. Rincon no sooner started speaking than hands shot up, and questions went flying.
At one point, he said that he had been doing a lot of presentations about the project and is used to animosity and aggressive questioning from audiences. We tried to keep everybody polite and mostly succeeded. In a nut shell though, here are the answers he provided.
So the state government’s job is “mostly” done and it’s all in the city governments hands now. We will soon know if claims of substandard material and botched jobs with the sewage, water, phone and electrical modernizations are well-founded or not.
Par Vial – which is intended to mean a circuitous traffic flow around Cabo San Lucas’ downtown area, up Lazaro Cardenas, down Marina Boulevard – may well have been a necessity. But was it worth all the aggravation and suffering – both in dire inconveniences and in losses in business revenues and in entire businesses – or is it a white elephant that will end up costing us again enormous emotional and financial pains?
Only time will tell, but this time we need to remember Mr. Rincon’s comments and rally together as a community and be heard. (posted on 30 Apr 2009)
