GRINGO FREE ZONES
San Miguel has been changed over the years by the invasion of American Gangs. They have bought up almost all the houses in Centro and all the land with a view. This has pushed Mexicans further and further away from Centro and the Hills. Tourist know nothing of this and the creation by Mexicans of Gringo Free Zones. Signs warn you about Gringo Free Zones. If you are a tourist and see this sign on the outskirts, do not enter a Gringo Free Zone. Gringo Free Zones have are no lattes, no art, no wines, no maids, no dried flowers, no pretty painted houses, no one who speaks English and no cable TV. It is a scary part of Mexico and not like the United States at all. It is almost like a foreign country - so unSan Miguel. You will get no service there. So watch for the signs and KNOW.
MEXICANS FIND WAYS TO USE GRINGAS
Little is written or said about what Mexicans think of Gangs and Gringras. The closest analogy is the spread of milfoil or zebra mussels in North America. Once introduced they are difficult to eliminate. But the Tuesday Market has found a use for Gringas. They are a bit tough and utterly tasteless but with some salsa rojo o verde they aren't bad.

Field of dreams: Soccer matches organized to deter gangs
By Jesús Ibarra
Gangs based in some neighborhoods within the city threaten public security and pose a challenge for local law enforcement.
Vandalism, street fights, throwing rocks at police cars, defacing property and consuming alcohol and drugs in the street are among the gang-related activities the local government hopes to curtail.
