Captivates True South Texas Culture

The stories of the past, such as these, repeat themselves in the lives of the people from the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. One of my favorite story's was "Chatita's Night Out," which reminds me of a Hispanic version of Romeo and Juliet, and still exists in today's border society. A wonderful read!
