Busy Intersections
Enjoying a break from his "regularly scheduled art-culture-politics blogging," Intersections blogger Daniel Hernandez posts Jan. 10 about his "second visit to El Chopo, the punk goth hippie rasta emo ska hip-hop street market in Mexico City, near Buenavista station," where his friend Nina bought a handbag made out of an armadillo shell. Then they wandered out of bounds in a supposedly closed archeo-dig site in Teotihuacan, just outside Mexico City. "We climbed the Pyramid of the Sun," Hernandez writes, "and felt la energia." Previous post is about Hillary. Now, there's a busy intersection. Truly cross-border, not to mention cross-dimensional.
Hernandez moved to Mexico City from Echo Park last year, taking Intersections with him.

Seven or fifteen minutes from now I can definitively say I didn't hear the sound of sirens.
