TREVINO: ESTA ES PLAZA, NOT LIKE PINCHE MARKET SQUARE

(Ed.'s Note: He just won't quit. Arturo "Turi" Trevino, the master brain empressario who convinced the gullible City of Brownsville commission and administration to provide the venue and subsidize city support services for his daffy "Gringo de Mayo" moneymaker, seems to like throwing it in their faces that the Mata Plaza Hidalgo is a real plaza, not like measly Market Square.

Right after he cleaned up at $40 a shot as admission for a small plate of tacos (donated by local restaurants) and his avocados, he started complaining that pinche Market Square didn't have any air conditioning, not enough shade, or the proper electrical setup for his event and that he might have to find another venue if the "new tradition" took hold for 2020.

The reason there were grease stains left from his event, he said, was because the city had erred and didn't require the contractors to seal the hand-laid brickwork. But we notice that the brickwork in Mata isn't sealed either.

But we doubt that Matamoros officials would allow him to walk away from the plaza after leaving huge puddles of grease on the newly-laid brickwork as his tranze Gringo de Mayo "new tradition" did at Market Square.

Give it a shot, Turi, see how far you'd get there. Peligro salgas cacheteado.)
