I didn’t want to take a deep dive into history or current events this time. I just wanted to celebrate that little corner of América today. RFK Stadium when Jaime Moreno was everybody’s hero. The Wafle Shop spelled just like that. Four Mile Run where you don’t need a goddamn permit to play soccer. Bilingual Sunday school on a Wednesday. Our Lady of Guadalupe’s always got fresh flowers. For as long as it’s here, alabanza.
