During a recent trip to Houston, Texas, we stopped at a roadside Stripes Gas station in Riviera, Texas, to buy something to eat. I grabbed a copy of the local Penny Pincher and could not help but notice the lack of spice! There were no Spanglish ads….. bawring… muy aburrido.
I missed the valley’s cultural flavor; I missed its spunk. No tiene el mismo sabor- le falta le enjundia!
The Bargain Book was delivered Wednesday, and I decided to post some of my favorite Spanglish classifieds of the week:
