In Mexico, an energized economy raises hopes

As Mexicans risk their lives to illegally emigrate to the USA and shootouts among drug lords continue to dominate the news, it’s understandable why Mexico might be perceived as a place with little hope.

Yet in places such as this tourist town that caters to the burgeoning middle class outside Mexico City, many Mexicans say their future looks brighter than it has in generations.

On weekends, a line of Chevrolet hatchbacks and other inexpensive new cars snakes into parking lots at the town’s water-slide parks. There, tourists munch on $2 corn dogs, snap pictures with digital cameras and spend some of their modest incomes. Every year, their numbers grow, the town’s tourism department says. And every year, they have a little more to spend.”*
