- 06/10/13 10:14 AM
Years ago I would see a black kid riding a bicycle in and around Yuma, Az. who was always dressed as if he was coming from church, wearing a bicycle helmet and always smiling.
What stood out to me most, was that he was never dressed as one would be to go about riding a bicycle in the middle of the day, and I would find him at random places in and around town. But what stood out to me the most, was that he didn’t really seem to have an urgency to get anywhere, more so as if he … (0 comments)

Stan’s Market Place is a neighborhood grocery store, laundry mat and a quick bite for Mexican food all under one roof. What I love about Stan’s Market Place is that it reminds me of the “tienditas” found in Mexico within the neighborhoods. Where you could just walk a few houses down to a home that has converted its front living room into a store, and buy miscellaneous items people are looking for, without going to the large markets found on the commercialized … (0 comments)

Aguachile is butterflied shrimp, seasoned … (0 comments)
