A Day Without An Immigrant Boycott In Escondido
All week I have been making a note of things to buy today, May 1, 2006.
This morning I woke up and had breakfast. I caught a segment of the morning news. Officer Contreras said that traffic conditions were great--better than normal!
I worked through the morning and had my sandwich for lunch. Time to go downtown by the bank on Grand Avenue wearing my American Flag t-shirt. No indication of any boycott. I did my business and headed up Escondido Avenue to get gas. An SUV had two American flags and one mexican flag waving out the window. It seemed to be circling the civic center block.
After waiting in line, I was able to gas up at the lowest priced gas station in Escondido.
Now to get oil for my pickup. The local auto parts store had a sale on my favorite brand. Bingo! As normal, the shoppers were a mix of Spanish and English speaking customers.
The El Tigre Market was closed as previously announced. That is probably costing El Tigre Market a bundle.
As I headed up Washington to Broadway, I saw two mexican young men carrying rolled up American flags. They did not look too energetic about a cause.
On Broadway, I passed by Grape Day Park at 2 pm. A rather small crowd had assembled by a large mexican flag and a host of smaller American flags toward the northeast corner of the park. I took a picture of the small crowd.
The final leg of my excursion headed east to a drug store at the corner of Valley Parkway and Rose for a list of assorted items. I was third in line at the checkout. As normal!
My conclusion is that this was a day without an effective immigrant boycott in Escondido
