i'll be honest, i was very surprised that such a large amount of hispanic people lived in chicago. I associate hispanic immigrants more with coast cities like nyc or la, and on the border. i guess i was just surprised that many lived in an midwest inland city like chicago.

I think its the 2nd highest Mexican population, after LA. NYC has more Hispanics, but more/most are Puerto Ricans.

Probably will have to take one step down that podium when Houston is accurately counted. By the way, Mike, have you ever thought about attending Rice? Bellaire is a nice place to live. And it would be a very interesting subtropical diversion from LI. Would be a gold mine for your father too.

Yeah, I'll feel right at home. There are whole streets where every sign is in Spanish.
