Old Cine Melaque

Cine Tropical

Met the same fate as Hotel Melaque or Casa Grande in '95

I don't really know what the name of the movie theater was (just learned it was Cine Tropical) but this is the first time I noticed it and had my camera with me. Now it's just storage and a workshop. Behind me are the projection booths. Flat floor so don't know if it had a slope before. Another victim of the 1995 earthquake

Tropical Storm Beatirz

Beatirz should be hurricane force Monday afternoon and the warning zone is from Manzanillo to Punta Perula which means Melaque is right in the middle. Stormpluse web site tracking shows the center 35 miles offshore from Barra d Navidad. This will be the first prediction in many years aiming a storm directly at this part of the coast. We will see come Tuesday. Personally I hope we just get a good rain
