The gringo reporters are finished covering Latino community drama and didn't really provide any insight into a historic leadership change.
For the moment Cris Medina is out and new leaders Beto Lopez & Cici Rojas have earned a couple of headlines but little enthusiasm from the community.
To wit . . .
KANSAS CITY CINCO DE MAYO CROWDS PACKED THE WESTSIDE BUT ABANDONED THE GUADALUPE CENTER FIESTA!!!
It wasn't pretty . . .
What is traditionally one of the most active times of the year for this 100-year-old institution looked like a wasteland.
Real talk: Pop-up Internets lowrider shows on the Blvd garnered more interest.
And so . . . Word continues to resonate among the local Latino community that new leadership doesn't really have any credibility in neighborhoods and their efforts to reach out to local political leaders are desperate, kinda pathetic and mostly unsuccessful.
Developing . . .
Better headline:

ReplyDeleteI think everyone is just really really depressed.
What is the "Westside?"
ReplyDeleteBunch of meth dealers , youve got royal liqour market. Meth and heroin junkies come down from Beardsley and score dope from the mexicans on 18th and holly or they sell their dope at royal liqour market. Meth dealing scumbags. Thats what the " westside" is.
ReplyDeleteNope @10:16 you just described your trailer park.
ReplyDeleteCome on Tony.... gives us the real reason Chris stepped down.
ReplyDeleteWHY was he (the center) being investigated? and by whom?
What were the red flags?
Surely someone is taking to you off the record.
