Travel insurance is very important, especially this time of year. Purchase insurance from your travel agent or buy your own. If you plan to travel in the next 2 months, I highly recommend you have it in case of hurricanes.

I have a link at the top of the page  that may be helpful.

A few seasonal closings, these restaurants will be closed for all or a part of September
I will update as I hear of others. This time of year when business is slow many businesses will close for remodeling, or vacation time.
Jax Bar & Grill
Cazuela M & J
Soggy Peso

A permanent closing I just heard about;
Chile Locos on Hidalgo has closed their doors. Very sad to see an “Isla institution” close.
We wish Jorge and everyone at Chile Locos good luck at whatever they plan to do next. They will be missed
