ON 14TH STREET'S EL TENAMPA, A SPLASH OF MEXICAN ARTISTIC COLOR

MARIA FELIX

WALL OF MEXICAN STARS

CANTINFLAS AND CORNELIO REYNA

THE BOYS IN THE BACK

CHENTE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

(Ed.'s Note: What used to be a set of drab walls of El Tenampa, a local watering hole at 2525 E. 14th Street, has now become a riot of color and artistic figures. We inquired and were told that it was the work of a Weslaco muralist simply called "Alejandro," who works with spray paint cans. The side with the row of music and artistic Mexican stars face southward And in front, Cantinflas and Cornelio Reyna share a wall with an unfinished Vicente Fernandez. Out in back, a mariachi plays as a cockfight is in progress. We can hardly wait for Alejandro to finish his work and will keep our 7 readers updated.)
