D'TOWN ON LIFE SUPPORT, BUT BLOOD BIZ IS ALIVE & KICKING

(Ed.'s Note: Go downtown on any day and you will the shuttered businesses, scores of homeless wandering the streets and congregating on closed up businesses like the Casa del Nylon. There are a few watering spot catering to a select and limited customer base and some Mexican restaurants close to the bridge open to limited seating. The ubiquitous second-hand stores are always there and remain with open doors.

But you will notice nodes of people at the doors and along the sidewalk leading to the plasma donor centers. Actually, they're not donors, but mostly people from Matamoros picking up a few dollars by selling their blood. It's a disconcerting and discouraging state of affairs but goes part and parcel with the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. With any luck, downtown will be revived and we can return to the old normal, or some semblance thereof.)

Plasma centers making a killing
But they are owned by out of towners

Those plasmas help people who are sick in hospitals all over the world. Now there's new centers opening up, that will be open for people to bring in their pets, and have the plasmas removed.The plasmas will then be shipped to Animal hospitals all over the country! Hopefully el pinche half coco mutt becomes a regular plasma giver and make some plasma money, instead of just being de huevon!!! Hahahahaha!!!

So downtown dies?
So what?
Worry about the mall
And about empty retail space at sunrise commons
Worry About the hudson development and the empty and abandoned homes around the empty "resacas" and dilapitated bike trails
Anyone remember the plan for brownsville's very own river walk

Life is in the blood line..
If donors stop coming ..many life's would be lost.

Unless we make up for it by lining up.

I'm going to educate all you Trump haters making fun of him for catching the virus!!! First, he does not have the virus idiotas! As you know, he has been making light of this virus for months, even calling it the Chinese virus. What better way to prove that this virus is nothing, but to fake that he has it. Then he quickly goes back to work without any health problems from the virus. This will make him look strong that he has defeated the deadly Chinese virus without any health problems! It's funny that the fake news media are getting on porpose, false reports, that Trump is seriously sick, and the stupid fake news media falls for it...making them look stupid, when Trump comes out making videos of him doing ok!!! Grow a brain you all pendejos!!! Where's the half coco mutt who like an idiot is making fun of Trump? Pendejo! You are getting played!!! Hahahahaha Stop being so guible pinche retard!!

Downtown Browntown has been destroyed by walk across Mexicans and the people who cater to them. It will NEVER come back, but remain a festering sore for generations to come.
