In Fort Worth, the Seminary South mall, built in the '60s, was re-purposed a few years ago as La Gran Plaza to cater to the burgeoning Hispanic clientele.<br /><br />I'm guessing that only the San Diego-Los Angeles corridor tops D/FW in the level of Latino influence. In 2007, the Dallas based <a href="http://www.pizzapatron.com/news/blog/2012/05/pizza-patron-gives-away-free-pizza-to-those-that-order-in-spanish.html'>Pizza PatrĂ³n</a> began accepting pesos, and this year added a free food promotion for call ins ordered in Spanish.<br /><br />I think [in Texas] today we're almost in the mirror image of the situation that existed in the 1830s - recent settlers from farther south are fast reaching 'critical mass'. Perhaps I should start looking in WY, MT, or Idaho (I hear they have an unused Governor's mansion - it might need a caretaker).<br />an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.com
