Running nearby is Corregidora Norte. There also is a business called Surburbia. And Sport City and a CINEMEX.

The official name of the town is El Oro. According to Wikipedia, the town has an alternative Nahuatl name – Teocuitlapilli – which means “what comes out of the gods” or “sacred excrement.” Do I believe that? I have no reason to disbelieve, except a wondering about people naming their town “god’s shit.”

Nahuatl is the more formal name for Aztec, describing the language of the conquerors of Central Mexico before the Spanish came along and conquered the conquerors, freeing native bands from the Aztec, but generally enslaving all peoples from Northern California to southern Chile, except for the area of Brazil, which Portugal had the honor of taking.

The municipality has a population of around 32,000.
