"Does anyone remember the Cadillac Bar in Nuevo Laredo? They had Pancho Villa’s saddle on display. (It was heavily worked with silver.)"
I spent lots of time at the NL Cadillac Bar in the late 80s and early 90s while I was living in Laredo, but I don't remember seeing any saddles there. But I do remember stories about
Pancho riding his horse inside, true or not I don't know. I think the Cadillac has been closed for a long time due to the Narco violence in Nuevo Laredo, and also the fact that very few Gringos dare to visit NL these days. It used to be a good place to take a walk around the downtown area in the evenings, and I would cross over two or three times a week to do that. And also to watch the Border Patrol search cars at the U. S. side of the bridge. No way would I go to NL (or to any border town on the Mexico side) now. There was also a Cadillac Bar in San Antonio near the River Walk, but from one visit there some years ago it was nothing like the one in NL. I don't know if it is still open.
