Viva tequila!

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce hosts a food and spirits tasting tonight.

The Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is getting metro residents fired up for all things Latino with Viva Sabor, a food, wine and spirits tasting from 6 to 10 p.m. tonight at Istvan Gallery.

The event will include a tequila tasting.

Tequila and I have an on-and-off relationship, starting with one memorable night in Amsterdam that kicked off with tequila, and one Ghouls Gone Wild parade that ended in tequila and orange face paint smeared all over my bathroom floor where I face-planted. Still, I love me a perfect margarita with olives.

Tickets to tonight’s Viva Sabor are $30. Look for Charles Martin’s article on tequila and the event soon in the Gazette.

Viva la comunidad

Five years after a controversial state law sought to reduce illegal immigration, the impact on OKC’s Latino community appears minimal.

The Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007, better known as House Bill 1804, was tough for its day. It remains the gravitational center of illegal immigration arguments in Oklahoma, even as it has been dissected by lawsuits, eclipsed by bills in other states and rendered less relevant by an increasingly young and legal Latino community.

New life

The long-struggling Crossroads Mall gets a second chance as a commercial hub for OKC’s growing Latino community.


News

A mariachi band played as dancers from a traveling circus last week unveiled plans to reshape Crossroads Mall. With a new name and new tenants, future renovations and a busy schedule of events, developers hope to transform the once-thriving mall into a commercial hub for Oklahoma City’s Latino community.
