No Cinco de Mayo Celebrations

not mentioned. Not advertised in local grocery stores. Not even over the beer. Now why do you suppose that is??

People are starting to remember that this isn't fucking Mexico?

Plenty of it in the St. Louis area. Mostly just businesses trying to capitalize on it though.

I made a point of explaning to the store manager exactly what the h he was promoting a few years back.

It is like St Patrick's Day. A day to drink beer no matter what your heritage.

I don't need a special day. and definitely not one from mexico.

There was a big bash in Detroit's mexican neighborhood yesterday. It probably didn't hurt that the weather was very nice yesterday and the Tigers had an afternoon game, which ended right around happy hour.

And, like the Mexican Army, the Tigers weren't expected to win and did? :D

We had a sedate Cinco de Mayo volunteer potluck lunch at Selby Botanical Garden yesterday. :D

There were a couple restaurants advertising the celebration yesterday with food specials, but there didn't seem to be too much press about it. With the economy the way it is around here, most of the Mexicans have left. You can't even have a good garage sale around here since they're gone. There's no one buying the stuff. :p
