Tijuana, day by day

Tijuana's calendar is a border calendar, and the page is honest about which side the rooms are on: 168 listings across 37 venues, 119 of them music, and the busiest addresses are San Diego's. The Observatory North Park and the House of Blues San Diego hold 16 listings each (the House of Blues' Voodoo Room adds 16 more under its own name), the Casbah holds 13, The Magnolia 11 and the Music Box 7. Tijuana's gig-goers have crossed for shows for decades; the tours route through San Diego, so the calendar does too.

That makes the Near row the shortest story on the site: San Diego is 26 km, one border crossing, and its page pairs with this one as a single nightlife map in two currencies. Comedy (10), sports (12) and community events (19) fill out the Tijuana side of the ledger. The weekend digest leads, the month view carries the club runs whole, and both re-issue as the rooms publish.
