Back in the day...
when NORTHLINE was still a mall,
when the METRO RAIL was the bar you held onto when you had to stand up on the bus,
when Food Town was still GERLAND'S,
when El CHARITO on Hardy was THE SPOT,
before the taco trucks hit AIRLINE,
before HEB came and went,
before WEINERS changed to Fallas,
before the Walgreens on CROSSTIMBERS moved across the street,
when FLAMINGO and TAMPICO were strictly to-go,
before ECKERD became CVS,
before they completely rebuilt DeChaumes Elementary,
and McDonalds,
and Arandas,
people were SPEAKING OUT,
STANDING UP,
FIGHTING,
and
GETTING ARRESTED for our right to vote.
I choose to remember.
I choose to vote.
