From Wikipedia:
Laredo (/ləˈreɪdoʊ/ lə-RAY-doh; Spanish: [laˈɾeðo]) is a city in and the county seat of Webb County, Texas, United States, on the north bank of the Rio Grande in South Texas, across from Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Laredo has the distinction of flying seven flags (the flag of the former Republic of the Rio Grande, which is now the flag of the city, in addition to the Six Flags of Texas).
Founded in 1755, Laredo grew from a village to the capital of the short-lived Republic of the Rio Grande to the largest inland port on the Mexican border. Laredo's economy is primarily based on international trade with the United States largest trading partner Mexico, and as a major hub for three areas of transportation - land, rail, and air cargo. The city is on the southern end of I-35, which connects manufacturers in northern Mexico through Interstate 35 as a major route for trade throughout the U.S. It has four international bridges and one railway bridge.
According to the 2020 census, the city's population was 255,205, making it the 11th-most populous city in Texas and third-most populated U.S. city on the Mexican border, after San Diego, California and El Paso, Texas.[8] Its metropolitan area is the 178th-largest in the U.S. and includes all of Webb County, with a population of 267,114. Laredo is also part of the cross-border Laredo-Nuevo Laredo metropolitan area with an estimated population of 636,516.
Laredo is notable for its high Hispanic proportion, which at over 95%, is the highest proportion of Hispanic Americans of any city in the United States outside of Puerto Rico. It is one of the least ethnically diverse cities in the United States. When economic, household, and social diversity are considered, Laredo is the 19th-least diverse of the 313 largest cities in the nation.[citation needed] Texas A&M International University and Laredo College are in Laredo. Laredo International Airport is within the Laredo city limits, while the Quetzalcoatl International Airport is nearby in Nuevo Laredo on the Mexican side.[citation needed]
The biggest festival, Washington's Birthday Celebration, is held during the later part of January and the majority of February, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists.
I miss Laredo.
Sad
Lived in Laredo for several years & I can honestly say I miss the food. I recently went back to visit and was shocked how empty downtown was! Laredo has beautiful architecture and so much potential.
Weird. Recent study shows traffic is up in this city. Wonder what is driving that
Downtown is a ghosttown, sad to say. They've tried to revitialize it, but were not successful. I think Laredo has alot of potential.
Nice tour of Laredo TX
Hometown of professional wrestler Roxanne Perez

Was born in Laredo Texas

@@Zar4508you mad?
Great video, of this town! I don't know if my travels will ever take me through Laredo, but the downtown is nicer than I imagined it'd be like. BTW in like 2000, I did a church workcamp trip with my church to the Ciudad Juarez area, and briefly saw El Paso. I thought El Paso was pretty nice(back then), myself. I think you'd enjoy El Paso, if you ever do visit there one day. There also are mountains, on the north side of that city on the Texas Hwy. 375 bypass. It's surprisingly nice, there.
I just went to a church work camp in El Paso, but some of my friends did some work in Juarez. Beautiful area
Its good but get one of those map widgets that show how you're navigating
Texas' beautiest small city.
Laredo practically entirely Latin. Hotter than Hades during prime of summer 🥵
