- Local government election reruns
System to avoid administrative vacuum must be introduced
12:30 JST, October 11, 2022
There must be downsides to holding an election all over again just because none of the candidates received the legally required minimum number of votes. The ruling and opposition parties should consider corrective measures, including the introduction of runoff elections.
In the Shinagawa Ward mayoral election held on Oct. 2, no candidate received the legally required number of votes, and a rerun will be held. The reason was that six newcomers ran in a tight race and the votes were dispersed among them.
The Public Offices Election Law stipulates that the minimum number of votes legally required to win a mayoral or gubernatorial election is “one-fourth of the total number of valid votes cast,” and if no candidate reaches this number, the election will be held again. This is based on the idea that a person who receives only a small number of votes is unfit to represent a local government.
National elections also have a legally required number of votes to win. For the single-seat constituency segment of House of Representatives elections, a candidate must garner at least one-sixth of the valid votes cast to win a seat.
There have been six cases of repeat elections for local government heads because no candidates earned the required minimum votes, including the 2003 Sapporo mayoral election. The government said the Shinagawa mayoral election is the seventh case.
A rerun should, in principle, be held within 50 days after a period of accepting objections. But in the past, there have been cases of it taking more time. For example, it took five months for the 2017 mayoral election in the city of Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, because ballots from the initial vote were counted again in response to objections from voters.
While it is natural to follow careful procedures in elections because they are the foundation of democracy, a prolonged period without a mayor or governor is likely to stall administrative management.
Furthermore, if no candidate receives the legally required minimum number of votes in the rerun, yet another election has to be held. This would be costly, and the confusion could last for a long time.
In 2007, a study group of experts from the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry compiled a report to seek improvements to this system, saying the “introduction of a runoff election with the top-ranking candidates” should be considered.
The aim of the report was to avoid a prolonged administrative vacuum. A runoff vote would also respect the weight of the votes cast in the initial election.
However, due to the fact that repeat elections are rare, the momentum for legislative revision did not pick up. The fact that the law is inadequate and has not been revised can only be called a failure of the Diet. The ruling and opposition parties need to discuss the issue and come to a conclusion on how rerun elections for mayor and governor should be conducted.
The electoral issues facing local governments do not stop with cases such as the Shinagawa Ward election. There is a serious shortage of people who want to become members of local assemblies.
In 2018 in the village of Showa, Gunma Prefecture, only nine candidates ran for the 12-seat village assembly election, and an unprecedented rerun was held the following year to fill the vacancies.
Unified local elections will be held next spring. Some of the restrictions on assembly members holding side jobs must be eased and their treatment must be improved, in order to increase the number of people who want to become local assembly members.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of. Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Enjoy your reading this week :)
I have still not read any of Chadwick's books and I know everyone who is into this time period seems to love her. I got this book for 99 cents on Kindle and so I'm hoping to start it soon. I am especially interested in this one as it tells the story of Nesta, daughter of the Welsh Prince Rhys of Deheubarth. I have become fascinated by medieval Welsh history in the last few years thanks to Sharon Kay Penman's novels. So this one is a winner!
Another steal at 48 cents on Kindle this is another author I always hear about but have never read anything by. This one is all about the Empress Matilda and the Anarchy period. Although I know a lot about this subject now this looks like a good historical fiction take on it with attention to Maud's character.
I have meant to read this series many times but with so many great cozy mysteries I just never started these. I'm thinking of just jumping into the newest one since there are so many. It's doubtful I'll have time right now with my TBR pile to start at the beginning and read them all. So for blogging purposes I'm going to read and review the newest one and if I love it who knows....maybe I will go back to the first one soon.

The vital services still being offered by small shops in towns and villages throughout the country is being underlined in Moray and throughout the UK this weekend.
Small Business Saturday UK aims for the second successive year to highlight the importance for local economies of small businesses.
This year the campaign hopes that the millions spent during the inaugural Small Business Saturday last year will be topped this weekend.
Many shops throughout Moray will be offering special 10% discounts on all goods – shops such as the Crafty Gifts and DIY store in Lossiemouth, where owner Natasha McCrae said: “Like many small shops in Moray we are delighted to be taking part in this national event.
“The recession has made it very difficult for small businesses around the country and Moray has not escaped that – but there are signs that we are fighting back, that people are again realising that there are unusually gifts to be had a lot closer to home than expected.”
The national initiative is being supported by the Federation of Small Businesses, for whom Andy Willox said: “It doesn’t matter if you’re putting in an order for Christmas dinner, buying a gift for a loved one or meeting a friend for a coffee or beer, we’d love it if Scots supported Small Business Saturday for a second year.
“Independent retailers and other small enterprises often offer goods and services which you can’t find elsewhere.
“Small Business Saturday offers a real opportunity to connect phenomenal small businesses with locals who perhaps aren’t aware of the great small businesses on their doorstep.”
The MSP for Banffshire & Buchan Coast, whose constituency includes Buckie, is also encouraging people to support their local shops: “I am very happy to be supporting Small Business Saturday. Small businesses are at the heart of Scotland’s economy and it is vitally important that we back them by shopping local whenever we can.”
Meanwhile Forres shops will once again be putting on a special show for the special day, inviting shoppers to be on the lookout for special early festive offers throughout the town.
In Elgin a new venture has also chosen Saturday as their opening day. Crafted, a new shop providing an outlet for over 40 Moray craft workers, will open their doors on 85 High Street for the first time.

Easy to assemble. Very sturdy. Good value.
Easy to assemle, sturdy, and practical with tub shelves.
I just put the utility cart together after finding a rubber mallet. It was very easy to put together. The one feature that I especially liked was the fact that the shelves are like tubs so items won't fall off. I am going to use it to carry heavy small appliances like my kitchen aid mixer from pantry to the kitchen. I will also be using it to take things out to our deck when we entertain.
Good rubber wheels. Thick construction. Easy to set up. It's everything that was represented. We use it in our house in Nantucket to move all of our personal items in the pantry and kitchen and frig to the owners closet on the same floor. I tried finding the same thing in more of a bakers rack which is basically the same as this cart only twice the height. That would be better for us. Five or 6 shelves instead of the 3 but it doesn't look like the manufacturer makes it.
This cart is perfect for our needs
This cart is perfect for our needs. We have a janitor with special needs and uses a walker to go far distances and this is the perfect height for her stability. I also appreciate the deep shelves to hold cleaning supplies and small buckets without items falling out easily. Very stable.
Easy to assemble. Very sturdy. Good value.

The Hare with Amber Eyes
Edmund de Waal
The Family Netsuke
Netsuke are tiny works of art, smaller than a ping pong ball, intricate figures carved from ivory or boxwood before Japan entered the modern world in 1859. The author, a potter on an extended fellowship in Japan, was taught to love his Uncle Iggie’s family heirloom collection of 264 netsuke. He becomes fascinated by the family stories wound around them. The Ephrussis of Odessa, Vienna, Paris, London and Tokyo were no ordinary family.
This is a book with a family tree, but it is simpler than that sounds. De Waal writes the story of the netsuke and his forbearers who owned them, beginning with de Waal’s great, great uncle Charles, a grand Parisian gentleman connoisseur (friends with Degas, Manet, Renoir, Monet and Proust), who collected them during the Japonisme craze of the 1870s.
The author writes:
“I want to know what the relationship has been between this wooden object that I am rolling between my fingers – hard and tricky and Japanese – and where it has been. I want to be able to reach to the handle of the door and turn it and feel it open. I want to walk into each room where this object has lived, to feel the volume of the space, to know what pictures were on the wall, how the light fell from the windows. And I want to know whose hands it has been in, and what they felt about it and thought about it – if they thought about it. I want to know what it has witnessed.”
It, the netsuke, “witnessed” the ruin and murder of a glorious Jewish banking family in Europe’s virulent twentieth century anti-Semitism: the French anti-dreyfusards, the Gestapo and post-war Austrian indifference to Jewish loss. When de Waal’s grandmother was married and moved into her husband’s Viennese palace on the Ringstrasse, she remarked that it was like living in the grand hall of the opera. She ended her life a penniless refuge. Yet, the story of the netsuke continues and the true wealth of the family is revealed in the final journey.
The Hare with Amber Eyes is an account of the author’s quest to find the truth about his family’s past. Written in the first person as de Waal travels from Paris, to Vienna and the Czech Republic and Tokyo, we stand shyly, with the author, on sidewalks, staring at the Park Monceau mansion and the Ringstrasse palace, formally owned by the Ephrussis, family seats long since lost to other owners. With de Waals we are apprehensive on penetrating further into the past and the rooms once occupied by the netsuke to rediscover the inner lives of the netsuke owners. But as we do so, the writing shifts into the third person. De Waal, and the reader, find immersion in their stories.
Many readers report reading The Hare with Amber Eyes in one sitting. It is that engrossing.
Accompany de Waal on his grand, and intimate, quest.

Methods: A cisplatin carrier polymer was prepared by grafting equimolar polyethylene glycol of a molecular weight of 550 (PEG550) and aminoethanol to the poly(dichlorophosphazene) backbone. Cisplatin was conjugated to the carrier polymer using cis-aconitic acid as a linker. Results: The cisplatin-loaded polyphosphazene, named “Polycisplatin” was found to be amphiphi-lic in aqueous solution and self-assembled into nanoparticles with an average particle size of 18.6 nm in diameter. The time-dependent organ distribution study of Cy5.5-labeled Polycisplatin in the A549-tumor-bearing mice exhibited a high tumor selectivity of Polycisplatin by EPR effect despite the relatively small particle size. In order to compare the in vivo efficacy of Polycisplatin and cisplatin, their xenograft trials were performed using nude mice against the human gastric cell line MKN-28. Polycisplatin exhibited slightly less tumor suppression effect compared with cisplatin at the same dose of 1.95 mg Pt/kg, which is the maximum tolerate dose of cisplatin, but at the higher double dose of 3.9 mg Pt/kg, Polycisplatin exhibited a little better efficacy than cisplatin. Furthermore, mice treated with cisplatin at the dose of 1.95 mg Pt/kg exhibited severe body weight decrease by about 25%, while mice treated with Polycisplatin did not show serious body weight decrease even at its double dose of 3.9 mg Pt/kg. Furthermore, kidney indicators including kidney index, BUN, and creatinine values measured displayed that Polycisplatin is much less nephrotoxic than cisplatin. Conclusion: Nanoparticular Polycisplatin was successfully prepared by conjugating cisplatin to a hydrophilic polyphosphazene carrier polymer using the acid-cleavable cis-aconitic acid. Polycisplatin nanoparticles exhibit excellent tumor-targeting properties by EPR effect. The xenograft trials exhibited excellent antitumor efficacy and reduced systemic toxicity of Polycisplatin.

Ambitious Marin Cilic has Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in his sights
Marin Cilic says he believes he can threaten Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the world rankings after a strong start to 2018.
The Croatian reached the Australian Open final in January, losing to Federer in five sets.
However, with Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray struggling for court-time this year due to injury concerns, Cilic is hearing the sound of opportunity knocking, and he is determined to answer it.
“I started great this season, opened it the best ever with the final at the Australian Open,” Cilic told the ATP.
“That perspective just gives my mind a good and stable strategy for moving forward in 2018.
“I didn’t finish 2017 the way I wanted.
“Obviously I finished at No 6, which is still amazing, second year in a row.
“But still I want to push myself to be improving and getting better and obviously that means getting higher in the rankings.
“Hopefully this season can give me a lot of great results and hopefully another Grand Slam title as well.”

The Billboard Music Awards has found its new King. Justin Bieber has been dethroned and it's a little bit surprising who beat him for the Top Social Artist award. It's a popular K-Pop band called BTS.
Despite the efforts of Justin Bieber in getting as many BMA trophies as he can, a K-Pop group has been crowned as the new most popular name in the music industry. It appears that he is no longer the most popular guy in town.
Just a few days ago, a video of Justin Bieber went viral. The video shows the "Love Yourself" singer cheering for a fan in New Jersey. According to Teen Vogue, the 23-year-old was spotted supporting a fan who was singing on the sidewalk.
It has yet to be revealed why Justin Bieber was in the New Jersey sidewalk at that time. He is especially busy these days but he found time to cheer for one of his fans. The video also sees him putting his hands around the shoulders of two other fans.
Before getting discovered in the realm of music, Justin Bieber used to sing in Canada with his guitar. It appears he has a knack for singers who started the way he did. The now-viral video has also become one of the most liked on social media over the past week.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber may be a little sad after discovering that he has been dethroned at the Billboard Music Awards. BTS has taken over the most popular name award. Who are they and what did they do to get the attention of fans?
According to Just Jared, BTS composes of Jungkook, Rap Monster, Jin V, J-Hope, Suga, and Jimin. A lot of their songs talk about female empowerment, mental health, and popular social issues these days that some entertainers do not want to tackle. It appears that this has led them to the popularity circle that Justin Bieber once conquered.© 2019 Mstars News, All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.

Latin names are supposed to be for naturally occurring taxa only and there are no naturally occurring oreophila hybrids. A handful of scientific names were created for some horticultural crosses (particularly where Nepenthes and orchids are concerned), but most are technically invalid. Similarly, there are oreophila hybrid names, but they are mishmashes of the parental names and thus automatically invalid.
Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do.

Imagine A World Without Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
We Can Turn This Hope Into A Cure
Americans Living With PTSD Is Astounding
Events that may lead to PTSD include, but are not limited to, violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, combat, and other forms of violence. Exposure to events like these is common. About one half of all U.S. adults will experience at least one traumatic event in their lives, but most do not develop PTSD.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after exposure to a potentially traumatic event that is beyond a typical stressor
People who experience PTSD may have persistent, frightening thoughts and memories of the event(s), experience sleep problems, feel detached or numb, or may be easily startled. In severe forms, PTSD can significantly impair a person’s ability to function at work, at home, and socially.
Make a Difference
You can support scientists who are finding treatments and cures for PTSD. Your generosity funds lifesaving research and education.
An estimated 5.0% of adolescents had PTSD, and an estimated 1.5% had severe impairment.

We have a direct connection with scientists so we are privy to projects in all stages of research. This gives us the insight to identify projects and allocate the dollars needed to find cures. Donate generously today to make a difference for future generations and your loved ones.
PTSD Caregiver Tips
An estimated 3.6% of U.S. adults had PTSD in the past year
The most important thing you can do for a loved one with PTSD is to be supportive and caring. The disorder affects the perception of reality.
- Create a calm comforting environment.
- Don’t argue with someone who is fearful and hyper-vigilant.
- Don’t keep firearms in the house.
- Be open to the individual’s concerns, while being careful not to validate paranoid ideas.

text: What is reality? And whose reality is it? Having been a mathematician for two decades before I turned to photography, I am sharply tuned to morphing real life problems to abstract concepts. To this end, I explore the answers to these existentialist questions via a mathematical tool which morphs images into aesthetically inviting abstract concepts, acting as portals. I start with photos of mundane artifacts of everyday’s life; a wall, a fence, a sidewalk, and map them onto otherworldly realms. I fine tune the tool’s parameters until the resulting image speaks to me.

Everyone is understandably anxious about the PlayStation 4, but speculation about the release date is getting a little out of hand. Over the past few months, I've heard dates in October, November, and December being tossed around, but each is a little light on evidence.
Yesterday, Sony Worldwide Studios' vice president, Michael Denny, teased us a little by revealing that the release date has been circled on Sony's calendars, but he wasn't willing to spill the beans. "...we know our launch date," Denny told Edge," and we think it's very important that gamers receive that new console experience." But Denny's secretive behavior has only spurred the speculation.
Many gamers have been pointing to an image from Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, and pretending that it offers some kind of definitive evidence for the PlayStation 4's release date.
The screen shot, which was taken from one of the game's many trailers, depicts a mandatory evacuation sign that requires Amherst County residents to leave the area by 10/17/13. Excitable gamers are quick to point out that Naughty Dog slid a secretive reference to The Last of Us into Uncharted 3, but considering that both titles were made by the company in question, it takes a much bigger leap to assume that they're teasing the PS4 release this time around.
Either way, the date isn't outside of the realm of possibility. A mid October release would fit into Sony's customary holiday release schedule, but an early November release would fit even better.
I always hate to be the damper for this kind of speculation, but I wish that we could just be patient enough to wait until the official unveiling. Some journalistic hunyuk will have inevitably picked the date, no matter how obscure, and want recognition for his brilliance. But the fact that you can read a calendar and speculate doesn't make you any more qualified than the average conspiracy theorist.
Date: April 18, 2013

Here at Buckeye, we love it when we get to see talent blossom. Two of our team members, Melanie (business development) and Tony (design) recently had the opportunity to work with and mentor Lily, a local high schooler. They had nothing but fantastic things to say about her:
I was our main communicator with Lily. I helped coordinate the meetings with Lily between our team. I also hosted Lily at Innovate New Albany in January. During our time together we discussed what she was interested in as well as had a pairing session with Tony surrounding design. (Lily loved the design portion of her pairing).
I also met with Lily to help prepare her presentation and to find feedback. I’m looking forward to keeping in touch with her!
I was fortunate enough to meet Lily, a talented artist with a creative spark, to discuss a career in web design. We talked about my typical workflow, the tools I use, the important things to focus on as she’s learning, and the industry overall. She asked some great questions, and I provided some advice. I walked away very impressed by Lily and have no doubts that if she sticks to the path she’s on, she’ll be leading design somewhere in a few years!
We’re excited for Lily and her future, and we can’t wait to see what she does next. Are you interested in working with our team and finding out a little bit more about what we do? We want to hear from you. Get in touch — we’d love to help you grow and amplify your impact.

DoJ clears Trece Martires mayor for vice mayor’s killing
Government prosecutors on Tuesday exonerated Trece Martires City Mayor Melandres Desagun for the murder of Vice Mayor Alexander Lubigan last year.
Also, the Department of Justice dismissed the two counts of murder complaint lodged against Luis Abad Jr. and Ronel Bersamina.
While the charges against them were dismissed, two counts of murder were filed against Ariel F. Paiton and Maragondon, Cavite Municipal Councilor Lawrence Arca.
Paiton has been identified as the alleged gunman while Arca allegedly provided the getaway vehicle.
Lubigan and his driver Romulo Guillemer were attacked last July 7 in front of a Korean restaurant along Barangay Luciano in Cavite.

In the yard. On a boat. Up in the woods camping.
Now you can bring Salt & Barrel’s celebrated cocktails anywhere you’d like.
The Bay Shore oyster bar has just introduced a canning method, allowing the restaurant to serve to-go drinks in snazzy aluminum.
There’s even a to-go option for mini flasks.
“All cocktails are available by can and flask,” co-owner Ryan Flynn tells us.
That includes best-sellers Hemingway Daquiri and Prickly Pear Margarita. The cans are all labeled and branded with the S&B logo.
The announcement coincides with the restaurant’s introduction today, Friday, of new fall menus for dinner, cocktails and brunch. Those menus can still be enjoyed outdoors —under S&B’s new canopies with heaters — or safely at the bar between plexiglass dividers.
Tap below to download:
All cocktails are canned and labeled on-premises. The cans are 8 ounces and the prices vary depending on the drink. Cans are $1 more than drinks on the cocktail menu, which are 6 ounces. There’s also a to-go option for mini flasks. Flasks are $20 for 14 ounces of featured drinks.

This beautiful summer is coming to a close. September is here. We have started school. My birthday is around the corner. But for the sake of making and keeping memories, I should say a few words about our family camping trip.
This tradition is ingrained enough that we still call it camping, even if we find ourselves in a cabin (or a tipi, as we did last year). It was also clear this year that the kids were not content to go along with our plan to camp in the back yard. So with a little luck, we booked a cabin in the Driftless Area of Minnesota, not far from the Mississippi river valley. I chaperoned Solomon's Sunday School group on a weekend trip to the area back in May, and knew our family would love it.
Not many think of Minnesota as a land of towering bluffs and winding rivers, and soaring eagles. The national image is more one of pines and lakes and deep snow--maybe a loon or a moose. But this hidden pocket of land is worth visiting. We took the Great River Road (aka highway 61) most of the way down. Starting at Red Wing, the landscape changes dramatically.
|Beaver Creek Vally State Park includes several of these unusual creek fords.|
Hok-Si-La Municipal Campground in Lake City provided the perfect place to stop, right off Hwy 61. The kids had a great time playing with a huge driftwood log that had washed up in the swimming area. It was at least eight feet long with smoothed knobs where the branches had been. They took turns turning it over, trying to knock each other off, playing a sort of aquatic 'king of the mountain.' Then they would work together to swim it to a different area of the beach. Nova made several friends in the hour or two we were there. Solomon was playing with them too before we left. Charlotte had me tow her out to the log with her life jacket on so we she could join the fun. A sail boat was anchored just outside the swimming buoys, giving the whole scene a Mediterranean feel. Ariadne spent a little time in the water, but mostly looked for shells on the beach. In the distance we saw one bald eagle steal a fish from another, just a few feet above the water.
We stopped in Wabasha for dinner, eating outside near the water. Ariadne danced to 'Love Potion Number 9', performed by a live all senior singing group across the street. The kids tried fried cheese curds--three out of four thumbs up (Charlotte was the dissenter). The National Eagle Center and Lark Toys were places we thought we'd stop as well, but the sun was setting, so we will have to save them for another time. I have fond memories of Solomon and Nova seeing live Eagles up close and riding the spectacular carousel at Lark back in 2006--before blogging days for me. That was our last family trip to the Driftless Area. We stayed at White Water State Park that year.
It was well past dark by the time we got to our cabin, and we were very grateful that all we had to do was roll out sleeping bags and blankets. Upon waking we were able to appreciate how nicely our cabin was situated. Just a few yards away from us was Beaver Creek. We could hear its gentle babble from inside. A large lawn and water pump were adjacent, with the trail head for the big spring trail just beyond that. The water was remarkably clear, and the drinking water was the best I've ever tasted at a state park.
Rain the next morning meant that plan A--biking on the Root River Trail, would have to wait. Luckily we had a plan B--Mystery Cave! Meandering over we finished up our audio book, Road Trip by Gary and Jim Paulsen. By the time we got to the cave it was sunny.
|On our way into Mystery Cave we met some serious spelunkers who had been underground for three hours. Also note--we entered the cave through a big metal door.|
Ariadne was excited to see a bat in the cave. We had seen a few on twilight bike trips at home and she has become fond of them, believe it or not. She had a different opinion of flow stone "Poop!" she declared, every time. Flow stone has always looked smooth and beautiful to me, but once she remarked upon the resemblance, I saw it too.
The tour guide overheard me telling the kids not to monopolize the tour with too many questions. She figured out this meant inquisitive kids and let them completely steer the tour, encouraging all questions. Charlotte wanted to know about the rock formations, Solomon remarked on the carbonic acid that ate away at the stone, Nova wanted to try out seeing what the cave was like with all the lights turned off. They were all on a first name basis by the time we got out.
We stopped in Lanesboro on the way home for fresh fish and Amish preserves and pie. There was a mysterious telephone booth, ringing and ringing on Main Street. I almost let the kids answer it. I should have. Charles succumbed to curiosity and answered it himself on the way back from getting pie from a roadside stand. It was the town's welcoming committee! Next time, we will know.
When we returned to our cabin Solomon got a fire going for S'mores. We all took turns going for walks by the Beaver Creek in twos and threes. The high humidity lead to a constant mist above the water. Dusk was falling and fireflies began to come out. It was magical.
The next day Solomon and Nova went fishing, and Charles taught Charlotte to play GO. It turns out our five year old loves the game almost as much as her dad! They had three games before the trip was over.

Most Mexican cities wrap around a main square. A church sits on one side and municipal buildings on others. That’s not true for Tijuana – which makes it an intriguing place for visitors from both sides of the border. Where is the there there?
It’s flung across the city from the Playa to the new airport, from the circling gate you walk through at the border to the southern reaches where roads lead to the Valle or coastal villages.
Visiting Tijuana is like a treasure hunt.
You may need a guide, a knowing friend, but certainly a good map to point to and a smattering of Spanish phrases to help your explorations.
Here’s some suggestions centering on a few more traditional and historical remnants of the city. In upcoming posts I’ll explore more recent trends in food and play.
Tijuana Cultural Center. Photo: Elaine J. Masters
One strategy is to visit the Tijuana Cultural Center first and move on from there to other neighborhoods. The wide galleries, theaters, fountains, plazas and architecture form a vibrant, proud heart for the city.

If you’re lucky a festival will fill the outdoor area with tents and food. A towering, central globe houses an Imax theater with state of the art technology. Many of the live performances, from theater to Opera and pop stars, are free. The Center features historical artifacts from the Indian ages, a 1/4 sized Spanish Galleon to re-created arches from the heady Casino days. Special exhibits open eyes to new visual arts.

Outside a petite Aquarium full of Baja sea creatures is set alongside the Botanical Garden. Authors speak, musicians play and children create art in workshops throughout the garden. The Cultural Center offers a full immersion in the spirit of the region.

That rarefied atmosphere may leave you literally hungry for more and the famous foods of the area are abundant in the Zona Centro district. In Santa Cecilia Plaza, a block from the towering downtown arch, you’ll find a walking lane crowded with restaurants and shops. There are families of Mariachis, dancers and lots of shopping. When I visited there were very few gringos to be seen.

La Tradicion has a large, shaded patio and serves some of the best local fare. Try the Michoacan Stew and don’t fill up before dipping fresh tortillas in the juices gathering in the bottom of the Molcajete. Around the corner is the home of the Caesar Salad. While Caesar’s has changed locations along the boulevard over the years you wouldn’t know it.
The bar and service are first class inside Caesars. Photo: Tripwellness
The walls are filled with pictures of famous visitors, paintings are set into ornate frames and chandeliers pose overhead. The bar is long, carved and its wood burnished darkly. An impressive, classic Italian espresso machine (no longer working) looms over the bartender. A new machine springs to life on demand nearby.

The service is courtly. Your salad will be prepared table side and the menu features many specialties. Don’t leave before you study the history on the walls.
Inside Pasaje Rodriguez. Photo: Trip Wellness.
Take a walk and explore several passages in the area. During Tijuana’s long ‘dark night’ the arts struggled when tourist dollars dried up and young artists took over Rodriguez Alley with their music, murals and food. You can find Pasaje Rodriguez running from Av. Revolucioon to Av. Constitucion between Calles 3era and 4ta in Zona Centro.
El Popo market. Photo: Tripwellness.
A market Pasaje that is more traditional is El Popo, located at the corner of 2nd St and Ninos Heroe. The stacks of cheeses, fruits, santeria statues and candles, will have your senses reeling.

If you were looking for a quality shirt or blouse there is a shop (Ave Revolucion 931 A between Third and Fourth Street) where the owner, Jack Doron, will point out the best details for choosing a man’s Guayabera, a woman’s blouse or dress. He’s been doing so since 1955. With luck he’ll show you his collection of sculptures in the back.

The light is dimming but you wonder what’s left of the glory days when Hollywood royalty would gamble and drink at the casino in the 1920’s? Do the locals still go there to play? There are several casinos but the largest, the original site of the Agua Caliente Casino and Racetrack, still stands. It’s a date night or business destination with restaurants, lounge acts and bars. Greyhounds run on a portion of the original horse track into the late evening and a new, modern stadium looms nearby. The casino’s a swank, teeming place but there’s no glint of the original Art Deco glamour.
Remnants of the old casino days inside El Museo. Photo: Tripwellness.
Your scavenger hunt could end downtown at an unassuming, corner bar and restaurant, El Museo Restaurante (Avenida revolucion 506.) Just past the tables on the street look up at a grand, pale green light fixture. It’s a relic from the original casino.
Line up the shots! The rattlesnake tequila at El Museo. Photo: Tripwellness
While tourists and revelers order Margaritas, notice the glass cases. Peer into pictures and wander to the back dining room where memorabilia from the original casino days has found a dusty rest. El Museo probably houses the largest, remaining public collection from the original decadent days.
All is not lost. Before you head back across the border or to your hotel, toast to the old and new Tijuana. For luck try a shot of tequila from the bar top tureen with it’s coiled, marinated rattlesnakes. If not, the Margaritas are delicious. Salut.
If you go:
Hand Art – Quality traditional clothing.
La Tradicion – Regional fare and breakfasts.
Caesars – Home of the Caesar Salad.
The Placio Azteca – Near Agua Caliente Casino
