Yup! We keep moving North. I'm in the
Heartland after a few years in the DC area. My husband came here from
the eastern coast of SA. Marge:)

The progression and movement of the Mexican people
to
the north and other parts:
Have you all noticed the progression
and movement of
the Mexican people, which includes all of us, in
the
last couple of hundred years?
My records show that my people
were in Zacatecas for
350+ years until my grandfather moved from
Zacatecas
to Mapimi, Durango, about 1910. He probably moved
because of
the wars, famine, and the need to make a
decent living for a large family
of ten children.
From Mapimi, my widow grandmother in 1924 went to
El
Paso, Texas, taking all 5 children by herself. The
other five all
died.
My dad left El Paso for Los Angeles in 1942 because of
the
lack of opportunities for himself and his
children. Teas was a hard place
to make a living for
anyone Mexican blood at that time.
I left Los
Angeles in 1987 for Santa Maria,
California, because we could not take the
high crime
rate and deterioration of our community.
My third oldest
daughter left for New York city to
break in to the fashion industry. My
youngest daughter
told me that she may be leaving for New York
city,
also, after she graduates from college.
Where does this end?
probably it does not.
