<p>Finaly! A dear friend, Carlos Juvera, has published his discontinued magazine again: Paradise Magazine. It is a free modern magazine about Mexican culture, cuisine, beaches, beauty, nature, art, history and so much more.</p>
<p>The independent magazine focuses on many things, places and stuff that you don’t find in many magazines circulating the Bay of Banderas. Even though it’s focused mainly on Puerto Vallarta and its surroundings, it is about Paradise in Mexico. The official website can be found at www.paradisemagazine.net and to read the full online version you can click <a target="_blank" href="http://issuu.com/paradisemags/docs/paradise_magazine_1">here</a>.</p>
<p>We wish him and his magazine the best and hope that it will stay around for a very long time.</p>

La plaza principal no tenía ni un alma presente. Poco después de llegar a la playa ya ví porque: Esta preciosa la playa de San Pancho. Nos fuimos al restaurante El Brujo, era muy bonito y calmado. Que mal que la ley mexicana prohíbe la venta de alcohol cuando hay elecciones (ni a los extranjeros les venden) lo cual es muy curioso ya que los días antes de la elección todo mundo compra toneladas de alcohol! Así que no es ilegal emborracharse hasta el gorro, mientras no intercambies dinero por alcohol. Ahora ya sabemos <img src='http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 10px 15px; font-family: verdana,arial; color: #d97f1e; font-size: 13px">San Pancho is a miniature town, you could almost think it&#8217;s abandoned. The main plaza had not one single soul near it. But shortly after arriving at the beach I could understand why: The beach is BEAUTIFUL. The few souls that are at the beach you could count on one hand. We sat at El Brujo restaurant, it was very nice and quiet. Too bad Mexican Law prohibits the sale of any alcoholic drink (even to foreigners) when there&#8217;s election day, which is kinda weird since everybody buys tons of alcohol the day before, so it&#8217;s not illegal to get really drunk but you can&#8217;t purchase this Good. Now we know <img src='http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="font-size: 13px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; text-align: justify;">Esta foto fue tomada el dia de ayer el 22 de Junio a las 7:30 am. El clima ha estado muy nublado y finalmente ha comenzado a llover. Una tormenta tropical al sur de Bahia de Banderas podría convertirse en el huracán Andrés que se dirige hacia la parte sur de la Bahia. Todo el día de hoy ha estado extremadamente nublado, esperemos a ver como se mantiene el clima en las próximas 24 horas.

<p style="font-size: 13px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; text-align: justify">This picture was taken yesterday on the 22nd of June at 7:30 am. The weather has been very cloudy lately and the rain has finally begun. A tropical storm south of Banderas Bay could develop into the hurricane Andrés, heading towards the southern part of the Bay. This entire Tuesday has been extremely cloudy; we&#8217;ll see how the weather develops in the next 24 hours. </p>

Podrán ver a la gente en la fiesta todos los días, pero especialmente los fines de semana son los que muestran lo vivo que se ha vuelto Vallarta. Palabras como: Influenza Porcina, Once de Septiembre, Huracanes y Crisis Económica son palabras que se encuentran lejos del ambiente fiestero de Vallarta.</p>

Deben de contar con mantenimiento, brindar seguridad, comodidad y mucha sombra, especialmente en el caliente y húmedo verano de Puerto Vallarta. Los parques públicos son para la gente.</p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Mucha gente disfrutaba del Parque Hidalgo. Se podía ver diferentes tipos de gente conviviendo en el Parque Hidalgo. Algunos venían con sus hijos o amigos, compraban bebidas, comida o regalitos hechos a mano. Otros solo descansaban bajo la sombra fresca. Los turistas casi siempre estarían tomando fotos o buscando una sombrita para refrescarse.</p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Hace unos años el parque no solo estaba lleno de personas, sino también lleno de vida. Muchísimas especies de aves vivían en los más de 113 arboles en el parque Hidalgo.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; left: -36px; margin-bottom: 6px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: timesnewroman,verdana,arial; position: relative"><img src="http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/line.jpg" alt="line.jpg" /></p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Parks are as essential to community health as are schools, clean water, and hospitals. They have to be maintained, secure, comfortable and provide shade and cover, especially in the hot and rainy summer in Puerto Vallarta. Public parks are for the public, the people.</p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 15px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Parque Hidalgo was one of those parks that many people and children enjoyed. Back then you could see all different kinds of people meeting at Parque Hidalgo. Many came with kids and friends, bought drinks, food or handcrafted souvenirs or just sat in the shade for some rest. Tourists would always be taking pictures or having a cool rest in the shade.</p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">A Couple years ago the park was not only filled with people, it was filled with life. Many bird species lived in more than 113 trees at Hidalgo Park.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 4px; left: -36px; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: timesnewroman,verdana,arial; position: relative"><img src="http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/article-parque-hidalgo-00.jpg" alt="Afternoon at Hidalgo Park" /></p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 15px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Los parques de Vallarta son símbolos muy importantes, al igual que lo son sus hermosas montañas en el centro histórico, o el tejado rojo, las calles empedradas, los mismos pescadores desde hace más de 20 años y la inigualable mezcla de culturas, arte y personas.</p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Estos símbolos fundamentales son la razón porque el resto del mundo ama a Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta no es una ciudad planeada como lo es Cancún, ya que tiene más de 150 años de historia y ha crecido más rápido de lo imaginable. Muchas cosas en Vallarta tienen el riesgo de desaparecer algún día, como los parques que ya hace mucho tiempo los políticos los tenían en la mira. Compañías extranjeras (&#8221;Guarantee Investment&#8221;) han ofrecido construir estacionamientos privados en áreas públicas, precisamente las áreas donde estaban situados los parques.
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; left: -36px; margin-bottom: 6px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: timesnewroman,verdana,arial; position: relative"><img src="http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/line.jpg" alt="line.jpg" /></p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 10px 15px 10px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Puerto Vallarta&#8217;s parks are part of the most important symbols in town, as are(were) the beautiful mountains in the historic center, the red Spanish-tile roofs, the cobblestone streets, the same fishermen for the past 20 years and the amazing mixture of cultures, art and people. </p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 6px 15px 15px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">These fundamental symbols in Vallarta are the reason why the rest of the world loves Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta isn&#8217;t a planned city like Cancun, it has over 150 years of history and it has grown faster than anyone could have ever imagined. Many important subjects in Vallarta feel threatened; the parks were always something that the local politicians had an eye on because of foreign investment interests (&#8221;Guarantee Investments&#8221;) at building a private parking lot on the free public space where the parks stood.
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 4px; left: -36px; margin-bottom: 4px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: timesnewroman,verdana,arial; position: relative"><img src="http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/article-parque-hidalgo-03.jpg" alt="Afternoon at Hidalgo Park" /></p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 15px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Esto dejó solo una opción para los ciudadanos: Protestar. Una vez a la semana, el grupo ecológico de Puerto Vallarta organizaba protestas pacificas donde atendían más de 100 personas caminando desde el Parque Hidalgo hasta la presidencia municipal. Que lastima que en ese tiempo no existía el grupo &#8220;Vallarta Verde&#8221;, un nuevo grupo de personas ecologistas que tuvieron su segundo Eco-Concierto con más de 15 grupos musicales y mucho entretenimiento para toda clase de gente.
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; left: -36px; margin-bottom: 6px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: timesnewroman,verdana,arial; position: relative"><img src="http://vallarta.blog.wexico.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/line.jpg" alt="line.jpg" /></p>
<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 6px 15px 15px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">This left only one thing to do for the citizens: To Protest. Once a week the ecological group of Puerto Vallarta would organize peaceful protests where hundreds of locals and friends would walk the ten blocks from Parque Hidalgo to the Presidency.  Too bad there was no such thing as &#8220;Vallarta Verde&#8221;, another new group of environmentally motivated locals that had their second Ecological Concert with over 15 different music bands and a lot of entertainment for everybody.</p>

<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 15px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Voluntarios y extranjeros ayudaban a crear los letreros en ingles. La gente pasaba, se paraba y dejaban salir su curiosidad preguntando de que se trataba todo el escenario. El grupo defensor colectó miles de firmas con nombres, emails y números telefónicos, pero nada de lo que hacían los Vallartenses sería suficiente.

People would walk by, stop, let their curiosity play and ask what all the fuzz would be about. The defending group collected thousands of signatures with names, emails and even phone numbers, but nothing the locals did was ever going to be enough.

<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 15px 15px 10px; color: #002664; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">Los parques habían estado en peligro por muchos años. Tanto que el diputado González Villaseñor, antes de llegar a ser presidente municipal, firmó un documento que declaraba su apoyo de preservar los parques como el parque Hidalgo para evitar la modificación del espacio publico para fines privados. Lo chistoso es: En cuanto llegó a ser presidente municipal de Puerto Vallarta, permitió la destrucción de estos bellos parques y convirtió el área pública en área privada con mucho cemento, supuestos &#8220;arboles&#8221; y escaso de vida. La gente le llama a los supuestos arboles &#8220;Plantas de Adorno&#8221;.

<p style="font-size: 13px; left: -36px; margin: 6px 15px 15px; color: #d97f1e; font-family: verdana,arial; position: relative; text-align: justify">The parks had been endangered for years. So much, that Gustavo González Villaseñor signed a paper before he became Mayor, which supported the idea of preserving parks like Parque Hidalgo and wouldn&#8217;t allow the modification of public space for private purposes. Funny thing is: As soon as he became the Mayor of Puerto Vallarta, he allowed the destruction of these beautiful parks and converted the public space into a private parking lot with a cement-heavy, no-tree-type design with no life. By the way people call the so called trees: &#8220;Decoration Plants&#8221;.

One big disadvantage for the defenders of the park was the surprisingly awkward hour for a &#8220;legitimate&#8221; destruction of the park at 4a.m. in the morning.
