Take a look at this article from San Miguel Writer's Conference

Is the point being proposed that the state department's warning is somehow responsible for the closing of your bookstore? I hope not.

You hope not? Why would you care? I only mentioned the book store closing. The point of the link was to show the actual statistics of crime and MX "danger" vs what is reported in the US.

You ask why locals aren't customers. Because they get their books sent to them from Amazon by way of La Conexion mail service in San Miguel. My business is a tourist business with a small but loyal group of Gringos who live in Gto coming into the store. We've had some nice events and I'll miss those. That's another post. This one was about the actual lack of danger to the traveler in nearly all of MX. Don't go looking for conspiracies.
