This weekend’s rundown sponsored by Capone’s
The hazy lazy dayz of summer are in town, along with prowling humidity and a few gusts of wind from time to time. Aaah, July in Rocky Point. Yet, apparently it’s something to sing about as there are a least two singing competitions coming up along with acoustic nights and the regular rocking around town with local bands. Enjoy the summer and let’s run down the weekend!
DRIVING REMINDERS & DETOUR WATCH
- Sonoyta – Peñasco overpass construction near turn-off to coastal highway

- Railroad repair near the corner of Blvd. Juarez and Blvd. Kino (near Pane e Vino) – remain alert to alternate routes
- Road “patching” work along highway East of town toward Mayan Palace. DRIVE CAREFULLY!
