In reply to oldwhitelady. Thanks to the construction of Lowes, Sam's Club, and WalMart, we now have an Hispanic population in the area. The contractor who put up those buildings imported them, and then left them behind. They tend to stay invisible, but there are the beginnings of places with real Mexican food in the area.

Yup, $1.00 margaritas and $.99 tacos. I met some friends at a Mexican restaurant, yesterday evening. Luckily, my friends got there before I did, and managed to get a table. There were people milling all over, waiting for a table. The noise was terrible. I ordered the chicken soup (it is delicious) and when it arrived, I asked for a to go container. I needed to get home and check on Mango because he wasn't feeling up to snuff. I'm sure most of the people there had a great Cinco de Mayo. .-= last blog ..Friday Cat Blogging - Who's tired? =-.

In line with CG’s incredibly awful pun, it is amazing when people down here complain about it. They are somewhat famous for liking any with mayo.

Given that Pensacola just celebrated the 450th anniversary of the first landing with a visit from the King of Spain, and Florida used to be a province ruled from Mexico, logically, objecting to Cinco de Mayo would be like objecting to Robert E. Lee. Isn’t it all about “heritage”? Objecting to Cinco de Mayo when you live along Cinco Bayou is rather silly.

They want to object to Mexican Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo in the United States? Well, good luck to them with that… in this part (Texas) of our great and diverse nation, they will certainly fail in that attempt. Music, food, drink, revelry, more drink, picnics in the big parks if weather permits, more drink… whatever the holiday’s history, that’s what this is about today. Hey, hand me another Dos Equis…

(Thanks for the link to CG’s photo. I still ROTFLMAO every time I see it!)
