Cultural Impressions-Monday Mural


The west side of St Paul for decades has been the home of Spanish speaking residents from Mexico and Central America. This particular mural indicates quite strongly the importance placed on our combined cultures.  I regularly visit the tienda, El Burrito Mercado, a wonderful market, shop, and restaurant combined.  One section of the store contains a take-out cold display section with tamales, enchiladas, beans, rice, salsa and more that make an easy heat-up and eat Mexican meal.  It is SO tasty and authentic!!

    That mural is just beautiful! It's nice to have a place to get some good Mexican cuisine close by.

    Oh, I bet that place is great. I do love Mexican food so I'm sure I'd find great things to take home.

    Just enjoyed a catch up here, where I always find something of interest. Italy also remember their families on Nov 1st/2nd

    It is an interesting mural, Kate. A love of, and pride in, all American countries is in evidence.

    I remember your Dia de los Muertos shots from previous years, Kate, and I've always enjoyed them. It's really interesting to see how the relationship to death changes with cultural environments.
