TIJUANA -We've been having fun and nostalgia trips for a few weeks now, sharing a series called "Watch Tijuana Change and Buildings Disappear", where we showcased some famous Tijuana landmarks and recently how Agua Caliente Boulevard has been transformed.

This time, we'll show you a picture of the Cuauhtemoc monument, located at one of Tijuana's famous roundabouts in Zona Río, some time after being installed, which was back in April 24th, 1975.

You'll also get to see the surroundings of Tijuana's famous CECUT back in the mid-80s, which is around the time when its construction started.

Join us on this time-traveling journey around the Tijuana streets, there's even a GIF of one of the biggest floods this young border town has experienced back in '93.
