Mexico City Forum?

 Can't Post | Private Reply
Don't the administrators feel that it might be time to recognize the significance of México, DF, and give us a specific forum in which to discuss it?

While it tenuously might be linked geographically with the Central Highlands, in my opinion, it merits a forum of its own.

It's a world class city of unending interest and fascination. Let's have a México, DF Forum, por favor.

It's a great idea, Anonimo, but since very few forum members actually live in this great city, David may not think it's appropriate. Let's see what he says. . .

Let's take the suggestion under advisement.
Tony and I will talk about it - as we have before.
Our main consideration is that the forum for DF would probably be underused - and there is nothing worse than a dead forum. There are a multitude of DF forums out there and as the above poster noted, not many of MXC forum users live there.
On the other hand, maybe there would be more DF residents posting on here if there was such a forum.
We shall see

OK; we've discussed it again and there will (shortly) be a Mexico City forum.
If it works, great - and if it doesn't (after a couple of months or so) we will fold all threads back into the Central Highlands forum.
It may take us a few days to launch the new forum, but it should certainly be up and running by the weekend.

Mexico City and Edomex would be a good forum. Truthfully, I have not seen many forums that breakout our area.

Applause Anonimo for the suggestion and Mexconnect for listening.

I have rarely seen any positive comments about my hometown. DF y area metropolitana is a great place to visit and live (IMO). Yes, there are bad parts, but the good outweighs the bad. I look forward to learning more about my city though the eyes of others.

I tried posting before on Mexconnect about DF and perceived safety, but I was turned off quickly because my user name offended several regular posters. Sorry if offends again, but it describes me well and I will not use it to describe anyone else.

Mexico City is my adopted hometown, and I try to make positive comments about it whenever I can.

I can't imagine why anyone would be offended by your user name. I think it's quite clever!

Gracias por la bienvenida Isla! When I wrote that I rarely see positive comments about DF, I was referring to other forums.
Your posts are very positive, I like that! Several posters have very good DF knowledge, I'm impressed.

I've been visiting and living on and off in Mexico City since 1966, so I have an historical as well as a contemporary view of what life is like here. On the whole, I'm happy to be here, and I'm glad my posts reflect that!

While I haven't been in and around Mexico City quite as long as La Isla has been, I've lived here either temporarily or permanently since 1982. All other things being equal, I'm here permanently now, enjoying all that this marvelous city has to offer. As we say, como México, no hay dos.

I have been living in DF for over a year now, and formally in other parts of the country such as Leon GTO and Cozumel QRoo.

The climate here is fantastic (I am from Canada so I prefer less heat). There is always something to learn about, places to see, and people to meet. I will forever feel like a tourist here I am sure.

I would be interested in a forum just on DF! Count me in.
