(Ed.'s Note: If you have ever frequented the beer joints on 14th Street or those that used to be in downtown Brownsville, you probably met Manuel Vega, the gent in the black hat sitting at the center of the table in the top photo. His brothers, Los Hermanos Vega, are serenading him on his birthday at Chris and Queren's Jukebox on Adams Street – formerly named La Movidita – this past Saturday evening.
El festejado treated his guests to a sumptuous guisado with frijoles a la charra and a deliciously fluffy Mexican rice. The Vegas Brothers played Las Mañanitas and other favorite songs to celebrate their brother's birthday. Then it was the ladies' turn to dance with him.

It's something you don't see everyday like you used to in downtown Browntown before the local city movers and shakers started to gentrify the old haunts on Market Square. Pity. Feliz cumpleaños, Don Manuel!)

You know it. (or Yoo no eeeeeet!)
Some will call it gentrification, others will call it cleaning up downtown from the low lifes and borrachos. Why can’t we all just get along ?
Pobre anciano. Bailan con el, pero...
