EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR CHARROS ROUND THE CORNER

(Ed.'s Note: If you walk around downtown Brownsville, you will come across scenes like the one above as businesses virtually burst into color with the approach of Charro Days. This year, the festivities begin February 18 and continue until the 25th. But for this small shopkeeper, business is on full steam. That's only four days from now. This small shop is on 12th Street, across the alley from the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. We thank our readers for sending the photo.)
