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. |
