Rosarito

Es el quinto municipio del estado de Baja California, Mexico.
Mayor Hugo Torres has always pitched his seaside city as a cut-rate paradise, but even this relentless hometown booster is stumped these days.
The city's bustling main drag, Benito Juarez Boulevard, has been the scene of two shootings since September 2008, including the drive-by slaying of a 15 year old boy and three others in a pet store.
Gunmen shot down one police officer guarding a park. Two more officers were killed after finishing their shift, another two while on patrol. After the seventh cop killing in one month, officers in October marched on City Hall asking Mayor Torres for bulletproof vests.
Once the economic engine of this city of 140,000 people, tourism has declined to such a degree that some hotels are considering closing for the winter.
Dozens of curio shops and restaurants already are shuttered, and mega beach clubs that once attracted hordes of college students sit empty.

    I live in Rosarito Beach. MY Toyota Prius and I are treated very well at Johnny's, as are my Friends and their cars that are brought there for repairs. a bit pricier than other places, but the Professionalism and honesty is priceless.

    I have taken my cars to Johnny's every 3 or 4 months for 8 years. (I have old cars) I have found them to be honest, reliable, and professional. I have only had one problem after they worked on the car and they corrected it immediately at no additional cost. I have recommended them to many of my friends. I have never that they treated me differently or charged more because I am American.

    I was trying to email the Rosarito baja ca community library, but I can not seem to find that email or information so far on line. my question is what website would be the best to use to translate English to Spanish, visa versa. thanks readers.
