Far away from home – Part I

Being an immigrant myself, I have an affinity toward immigrant workers – although I have adopted the English language & embraced the customs of American society.

East Flatbush is trying to become a trendy part of town, but we still have people who don’t utilize closets. I find it hard to believe that with all the storage facilities and ample closet space these apts have (I checked them out when they were building them) people have to resort to this shameful and disgusting way to live. So get over it and clean up this eye sore. – Vincenzo Aiosa

I am always amazed at the success of mediocre restaurants, with so so food and dreadful ambiance. However, the sign is fabulous.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican and Chicano communities. It marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Althought the Mexican army was eventually defeated, the “Batalla de Puebla” came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that Mexico and all of Latin America were willing to defend themselves of any foreign intervention. Especially those from imperialist states bent on world conquest. – Chicano-Latina NET/UCLA
