Impressive view of the water crisis.
Wow, that stadium listed as #1 (first in the list although I don't think it's a ranking) is a beauty. BBC sure knows its stuff.
My school's football team featured in The New York Times. Pretty cool.
Beautiful work, and I bet it's delicious too. I'll have to go on my next trip.
Crazy stuff, my tiny little Jewish elementary and middle school in Monterrey, México ranked #1 in the state, #29 and #23 nation-wide in the yearly Mexican school ranking system Enlace.

Number 42 this year. Top club from Mexico. Now let's try and win some league games, ok?
Impressive gallery in El Norte on the havoc left behind by hurricane Alex in Monterrey, Mexico.
FIFA.com has an article on Monterrey's championship and the De Nigris brothers.
Not only is my hometown Monterrey considered as the #4 smartest city in the world by Forbes Magazine (their ranking went down by two when I moved out), but in the article they use a photo taken by none other than my baby brother Moi.
Thirty dollars to see a minor league American soccer team play a friendly match. Who knows which players Monterrey will even bring in the middle of the season? Ridiculous. I'd go if it cost $15 or less.
Perhaps the best remembered of their meetings over the years was Los Rayados' similarly emphatic 4-1 away win in the Clausura Championship semi-finals back in June 2003. This coming Saturday's game made it to FIFA.com's website. Monterrey will win, of course. Best quote:
"Inspired by a magnificent performance from Guillermo Franco, Monterrey took a decisive step towards the final, where they prevailed in an exciting two-legged decider against Morelia." ...happy times.
According to The New York Times, I was born in one of the 44 places to visit this year. Link sent in by Moi.
From the midfield up, it's all Rayados. And it makes sense: 8 goals against the tournament's leader. See you in semifinals!
We have been hearing about a new stadium for Monterrey since the days of Jorge Lankenau. Lately the rumblings are growing and yesterday they presented a proposal for this 75,000 spectator stadium. Look too good to ever become true.
Vamos Monterrey! Queremos la coooopa
