Making Memories of Love

I’m excited about my new garage door. The original 1959 door was well worn. After several quotes, I went with Up and Down Garage Doors. Reasonable, thoroug...h, friendly and great service. I would highly recommend them. Trying to decide if I want to use the magnetic accessories for the door. Your thoughts? See more

Living in a border town, you really get to hear the various opinions on the celebration of Cinco De Mayo. I got an earful yesterday. When I was a child my mom... would say, We never celebrated that day in Mexico but we did celebrate on September 16th for Mexican Independence Day. So why is Cinco de Mayoa holiday commemorating a Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862so widely celebrated in California and across the United States, when it is scarcely observed in Mexico? As Dr. David E. Hayes-Bautista explains, the holiday is not Mexican at all, but an American one. ABC7 story by Anabel Munoz
