Closing 14th St off once construction began on the new B.U.S. terminal meant death for my favorite hot dog stand. The owner lived in Matamoros but had this little stand in Brownsville for over sixteen years. His hot dogs with grilled onions, tomatoes and sliced jalapenos were so good I'd walk a few blocks from the college just for the fun of sitting on a stool and shooting the bull with Rafael.

Recio's Food and Gifts at 202 E Saint Francis St. is not your typical Mom-&-Pop store converted from a residential home but a very good example. These little neighborhood stores are becoming rarer each year.

A modern day water carrier. In the old days "piperos" would roll a barrel full of water tied on a rope. Taken on 10th and Elizabeth St passing photo-mural.

When KGBT Ch4 news visited the Cameron County Courthouse I met this man riding by on a beach cruiser which he had taken a great pride in.

I met this "boleador" with his homemade shoeshine boxes on Elizabeth and Palm Blvd.

This man had an interesting hat and was more than happy to have his photo taken at the intersection of Jackson and International Blvd. while I waited for the light to change.

This man likes to have his photo taken can always be seen downtown wearing something colorful and loose like his personality. We'll call him "Space Jam" (his idea).
