I feel like back in the 90s/early 2000s Acapulco was just as popular as Cancun but then safety problems arose and you never hear about it anymore

A trip to Acapulco was a pretty baller prize on The Price is Right in the 80s and 90s.

Last weekend was the EAA fly-in. It was cool looking at that map with a train of planes on their descent into Oshkosh. Oshkosh is little over an hour north of our house.

My guess is because Mexico is broken down by state. Don't want those Cancun all inclusive guests feeling unsafe...

Ironically most of the recent issues I've heard of have been cartel assassinations at those same resorts around Cancun and Tulum. There are definitely areas of Mexico I'd avoid driving through but I can't remember ever feeling unsafe during my travels there.

Update from the State Dept on Mexico.

https://travel.state.gov/content/tr.../traveladvisories/mexico-travel-advisory.html

See state summaries and advisory levels below for information on your specific travel destination. Some areas of Mexico have increased risk of crime and kidnapping.

Country Summary: Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted. In many states, local emergency services are limited outside the state capital or major cities.

U.S. citizens are advised to adhere to restrictions on U.S. government employee travel. State-specific restrictions are included in the individual state advisories below. U.S. government employees may not travel between cities after dark, may not hail taxis on the street, and must rely on dispatched vehicles, including app-based services like Uber, and regulated taxi stands. U.S. government employees should avoid traveling alone, especially in remote areas. U.S. government employees may not drive from the U.S.-Mexico border to or from the interior parts of Mexico, except daytime travel within Baja California and between Nogales and Hermosillo on Mexican Federal Highway 15D, and between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey on Highway 85D.

Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Mexico.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined Mexico has a high level of COVID-19. Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel.

I don't see a mention of requiring some minimum number of episodes to qualify, but "Bless the Harts" took place in NC. I wanted to like it. I didn't.

Yeah, me too. It was set in a fictionalized hybrid version of Greensboro and High Point.
 
Yeah. “Green Point” if I remember correctly. And the creator is from the Triad too. It would have been nice if it was a good show. I remember it being a reasonable portrayal of the area.
