Title: Juárez: Gated Bar District is Safest Place to Socialize
Abstract: Juárez, Mexico — Despite widespread crime and violence in the capital of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, bar and restaurant patrons can still relax and socialize in an entertainment zone on the city’s east side. A gated block of Tomas Fernandez Boulevard boasting 12 bars and restaurants, La Cantera district is patrolled by the police Investigative Unit and private security guards. Many of the city’s bars and restaurants have closed due to rising violence and the bad economic crisis; however, thousands of people visit La Cantera every weekend.
