Now I am sure that everyone must think that with El Rey opening that I would not need to go to Super Baru any more. However that isn’t true. I still think that Super Baru is one of the two best supermarkets in David.
I don’t have any need to go to Super99. In fact I [...]

AstroVision is the company I currently use for my cable television in David. I think with my jubilado discount plus taxes, I pay around $25.00 per month and I have the complete package.

I was going to throw this old card away and then decided it might be of interest to anyone that is going to be in David. I know when I first got here I parked down town and when I came back to my car, I found a parking citation on the window. Then I [...]
