Zombies by the thousands took to the streets of Tijuana last Saturday as part of the city’s first ever Zombie Walk Tijuana. The event’s organizers were hoping to attract 300 participants. To their surprise, 4,000 zombies of every age came out to participate, braving a citywide weekend water outage to apply makeup they weren’t going to be able to easily get off. The zombies, and a small contingent of zombie killers, wound their way through Tijuana’s Zona Rio district on an hour long march to the Palacio Municipal Antiguo downtown, where they mingled with hundreds of onlookers at an impromptu street party for the walking dead.
Spreading to 900 cities worldwide, the Occupy Wall Street movement came to Tijuana Saturday, as 200 people gathered in a grassy median in the city’s banking district, Zona Rio, to protest corporate greed, economic inequality, and injustice in the international banking system.
