Well maybe I'm just a big chicken, but any time I mention the word "Laredo" to any of my friends I get this look of fear and disbelief that I would even consider going down there. I'm just saying...
Pepper has offered to be my escort, but I'm still a little paranoid. I would like to make it out of Laredo alive and I'm just not sure the odds are in my favor.

Laredo has acquired a bad reputation due to all the violence across the river in Nuevo Laredo, a totally different city.
I have been traveling to Laredo for a number of years and have never felt a threat of harm. But I am just as cautious as I would be in any larger city.
Could something happen? Yes. Do I expect it to? Sometimes. Do I travel in areas of town that could be unsafe? NO.
Anyone that can manage to survive in Houston should have no problem in Laredo. And if you need a personal escort, I would be more than willing to offer my services.
