The pharmacy business is one of the busiest industries in Nuevo Progreso, catering to US residents from the northern United States and Canada who spend their winters in the Rio Grande Valley as "Winter Texans." The Winter Texans (usually retired) bring their expensive US drug prescriptions to get filled here in Mexico at a deep discount.

There are literally dozens of pharmacies on this street -- and each one is independent of the others, competing for the lucrative American legal-drug business. Blasterz could have come home with 5000 Tylenol for $20, but that would be a 30+ year supply!
