Dearth of parking killing Chapalita

Trying to find a parking space in Colonia Chapalita is no fun to say the least. Some 100 businesses in the area have had to take out their parking spots and add greenery in their place in order to get their business licenses renewed this year. Clients tired of getting ticketed or not trusting valet parking are giving wide berth to the area and the small businesses are suffering as a result.  

The effects of caffeine found in drinks widely consumed by adolescents was one of the many themes presented by students at the American School of Guadalajara’s annual Science Fair.

Artisans take over city center

As in years past, artisans from all over Jalisco travel to Guadalajara to participate in the annual Feria de la Artesanía over the two-week Easter holiday.

Free admission.
