I never knew May Day was even a thing.

Good advice, though I will like to ask does it affect freeway traffic through the area in any way?

It's a good thing we have train station in old town and downtown to let people who are either interested in the festivities or just passing by to avoid the traffic jams.

I couldn't eat at my favorite taqueria on monday because they were closed in solidarity with the immigrant community. But it wasn't a big deal - I eat there 6-7 times a month anyway. Every restaurant aside from chains randomly closes occasionally for some reason or other it seems.

Since this is the official SD Cinco de Mayo thread...Here's "Americans hit the TJ waterpark... to the tune of CINCO DE MAYO. " Happy Friday and Cinco all! I realize Mexicans don't celebrate Cinco as much as Americans do, but its still fun.

What's even funnier is that so many Americans think Cinco de Mayo (barely a thing for Mexicans) is a thing for all Latin Americans. Someone I knew in DC used to give blank stares at Americans in DC asking him if he was happy since May 5th should be a "big day" for him. He was from Brazil.
