So
just
my
personal
story,
so
I
grew
up
here
in
Laredo
and
I
moved
to
Austin
for
college
and
the
New
York
to
obtain
a
master's
in
industrial
psychology
and
I
lived
there
in
New
York
for
about
six
years
and
I
moved
back
about
a
year
ago
and
I
realized
that
a
lot
of
my
friends
don't
want
to
move
back
to
the
Rio.
For
many
reasons
right
they
can
pursue
better
opportunities
elsewhere.
The
quality
of
life
elsewhere
is
a
lot
better
and
so
I
ended
up
quitting
the
corporate
job.
F
That
I
had
and
I
joined,
Viviana,
Frank
and
Frank
to
form
a
local
nonprofit
that
helps
with
public
engagement
and
so
they've
been
doing
these
projects.
For
many
years
they
helped
start
the
farmers
market.
We
help
support.
We
support
by
querido,
which
you
know
they
have
made
a
lot
of
strides
policies
with
city
council
to
funding
for
trails
and
bike
lanes
and
they're.
Really,
you
know
changing
the
culture
in
burrito
I
also
helped
with
burrito
senator
for
urban
agriculture
and
sustainable
we've
done
great
things.
F
There
we
helped
form
an
urban
agriculture
division
within
the
city,
which
has
one
dedicated
full-time
staff
and
several
part-time
staff
members
that
help
with
that.
We
also
created
and
Pat
helped
pass
the
urban
agriculture
ordinance
and
we
secured
city
funding
for
this
project.
So
we
have
kind
of
been
learning
how
the
city
government
works,
how
the
City
Council
works
and
why
ordinances
are
important
and
master
plans
are
important.
C
F
Now
we're
hoping
to
push
forward
a
bike
plan,
because
we
realized
that
council
members-
and
you
know
different
city
departments-
are
trying
to
advance
events,
the
bike
culture
burrito,
but
they're
doing
it
in
small
projects
here
and
there
parks
bike
lanes
that
are,
but
there's
not
there's.
No,
like
one
master
plan
to
say
look,
these
are
our
priorities.
This
is
the
process
that
we're
going
to
follow.
So
no
meeting
Anissa
see
everyone
and
personally
having
a
passion
for
art.
My
mom
is
an
art
teacher
here
at
exists.
To
do
I
think
she
yeah.
C
F
So
you
know
my
family,
my
grandfather
and
my
mom
and
my
sister
are
all
artists
and
art
is
a
big
part
of
our
family
life.
So
I,
you
know
want
to
help
move
this
project
forward.
Roxanne
Pena
is
also
an
advocate
for
the
Arts
and
she
has
know
her
own
passion
in
filmmaking
and
so
she's
going
to
also
help
us
with
this
project
and
of
course
we
know
her.
C
F
What
we
want
to
ask
of
you
is
that
you
allow
us
to
collaborate
with
your
commission.
You
are
the
entity
of
city
government
that
you
know
it's
focused
on
the
arts,
so
we
want
to
help
empower
the
community
and
integrate
the
community.
We
know
that
we
know
what
a
lot
of
artists
we
know.
A
lot
of
you
know
a
lot
that
goes
on
in
the
radio,
but
it's
often
it
open
field
sight.
Oh
right,
there's
no
one
platform,
but.
C
F
Your
citizens
want
this:
can
we
help
pass
a
master
plan
for
funding,
while
the
funding
for
a
public
art
program
would
follow
a
master
plan
and
in
our
view,
from
city,
we
agree.
We've
seen
that
if
we
help
push
a
master
plan
first
and
then
secure
that
to
present
funding
that
we
want
that.
That
would
be
the
bad
kind
of
actions.
C
F
So
listen
I
have
already
done
a
lot
of
research
with
public
art
programs,
especially
in
court
facing
and
bustle.
So
you
know
we
were
kind
of
what
we're
curious
like
how
to
you
know
public
our
programs
come
about
like
what
are
they
entail
and
then
you
know,
how
can
we
help
push
certain
things
will
work.
So
that's
why?
Okay
well.
B
B
B
B
Poetry
and
when
there
was
arts
you
know
it
was.
We
had
a
lot
of
people,
it
was
a
good
group
and
they
would
say
if
you
had
any
money
and
you
if
you
could
have
any
amount
of
money.
What
would
you
implement
in
Lorado
and,
like
some
people
say
a
Performing
Arts
Center,
of
course
the
theater
people?
You
know,
because
now
that
we
don't
have
the.
B
What
happened
to
us
is
that
they,
there
was
a
group
of
artists
who
were
trying
to
get
murals
general
Arroyo,
and
so
it
turned
out
that
there
was
nothing
in
the
city
ordinances
about
that.
It
was
under
the
sign
ordinance.
So
we
started
going
to
the
sign
ordinance
meetings
and
we
would
get
on
the
schedule
and
we
would
have
to
sit
through
hours.
B
B
B
Go
towards
dumb
partners
have
reached
in
and
get
to,
Saunders
he's
working
and
the
other
one
is
outlet
malls
the
outlet
mall
and
you
can
see
it
from
the
bridges
when
you're
crossing
it
says
the
alcohol
and
it's
supposed
to
be
interactive
because
it
says
so
yeah
so
yeah
right
and
then,
if
you
put
your
thumb,
you
can
like
right
there
and
you
can
like
take
a
photo
of
the
mural
and
have
what
you
want
in
about
yeah.
That's
it.
So
that
was
a
really
cool
interactive
thing.
So
we
we
did
help
fund
those
murals.
B
So
so,
but
it's
funny
because
we
we
also
have
on
our
agenda.
We
also
have
to
figure
out
what
is
our
mission
and
what
are
we
here
for?
How
does
that
work
with
the
City,
Council
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
things,
but
yes,
that
we're
kind
of
exactly
trying
to
do
what
you
all
are
doing
is:
how
do
we
focus
on
having
an
arts
and
culture
program
or
more
of
a
cohesive
and
permanent?
Being
that's
actually
part
of
the
city
plan
that
can
go
forward
and
not
just
are,
but
like
musical
events
and.
C
B
F
B
We
had
tried
to
start
that,
or
we
actually
kind
of
did
started
a
few
years
ago.
We
had
like
it
I
guess
it
was
an
art
walk.
We
called
it
because
we
went
from.
There
was
artists,
local
saga,
and
then
there
was
someplace
else
another
plate
and
then
the
Center
for
the
Arts
in
a
gallery
chill
wouldn't
even
have
been
there
to
supplies
because
it
was
in
May
and
it
was.
B
C
F
The
policy
side
of
it
so
how
we've
done
that
we
end
up
finding
those
people
that
are
gonna
die,
sometimes
like
for
agriculture,
for
example,
we
have
Julio
Cunha,
who
she
believes
in
this,
and
so
she
will
show
up
she's,
not
you
know
an
expert
in
urban
agriculture
and
that,
but
it's
people
who
are
gonna,
help
and
ingredie
advocate
for
this.
So
some
of
those
events
are
connected
explore
with
our
convenient
and
find
the
right
people
and
the
right
well.
B
Of
every
month
at
two
one
and
they
were
kind
of
wandering
around
with
that
home
for
a
while
and
I
said,
hey
gallery,
Joanna's
your
home.
So
how
long
have
you
been
dead?
Three
years
doesn't
close
since
2012
they've
been
doing
their
slums
there.
So
you
know
they're
there.
Other
entities
that
are
are
happening
in
my
mind
and
I'm
still
like
they.
Don't
they
don't
ever
not
show
up
for
the
slab.
You
know
it's
always
that
happen,
and
you
know
they
have
they
bring
in
people,
and
you
know
they're
doing
a
great
job.
B
B
Think
that
they
have
an
entity
already
formed
that
is
like
okay,
I
thought.
I
was
in
charge
off
the
Loretto
Main
Street
was
also
part
of
organizing
downtown
events
right
they
do
the
job.
You
see,
I,
think
that
falls
under
them
right,
Loreena,
Main
Street
as
the
jambu's,
and
they
have
a
ball
where
they
name
the
king
and
queen
of
I.
Don't
know
yeah.
A
C
B
And
I
think
it's
good
that
you
want
to
have
some
things
that
everybody
can
say.
Okay!
Well,
like
me,
you
all
work
with
us
because
I
mean
I.
The
city
started
this
yeah.
That's
why
we're
here,
but
yes,
definitely
that
that
we
can
all
work
together
and
get
more
people
involved.
I
think
that's
really!
What
we
need
is
more,
but.
B
Do
think
that
this
is
great,
because
I
think
we
also
feel
like.
Where
do
we
start?
Where
do
we
begin?
You
know
we
have
and
when
we
actually
were
trying
to
schedule
and
make
a
plan
like
a
yearly
plan
of
what
we
would
like
to
see
happen
in
Laredo
that'd,
be
a
dance
festival
or
I,
don't
know
whatever.
Whatever
anything,
arts
and
culture,
we
were.
We
learned
to
start
making
a
plan
for
the
year,
and
so
this
is
perfect
timing,
because
we
haven't
done
that
yet
and
we
can
all
work
together.
A
C
F
B
D
C
B
C
B
B
C
B
B
B
E
Have
two
ideas
for
you,
because
I
just
I
saw
the
city
of
possible
bits.
Burton
admission
is
the
impossible
public
art
program
works
to
enhance,
promote
and
define
and
fossil
just
put
in
radio
as
a
unique
place.
Community
and
destination
is
placing
a
public
art
working
community,
neighborhoods
and
public.
So.
F
C
E
E
E
F
We
ever
talked
about
like
in
talking
to
us
I'm
going
to
come
pick
our
directors
and
we
just
people
but
Meredith
bikini
was
a
recommended
consultant
to
create
master
plans.
I
think
she's
doing
San
Diego
it's
now.
These
are
big
things,
but
but
this
would
be
a
smaller
project
for
her
and
we
also
heard
of
one
other
company
yeah
and.
E
B
E
B
F
So
we
are
looking
at
pushing
for
the
plaza
theater,
so
we're
organizing
a
team,
especially
Vittorio
from
society,
to
advocate
for
how
we
may
be
able
to
organize
a
plan
of
operating
it.
So
if
that
does
move
forward,
would
you
think
then
maybe
creating
a
partnership
to
where
that's
kind
of
the
headquarters
of
culture?
Well,.
F
C
B
F
F
F
B
C
A
B
A
building
of
building
on
by
Sunday
at
that
store
yeah.
So
in
that
day,
I
guess
didn't
realize
there
was
nothing
like
until
the
one
that
actually
is
the
Performing
Arts
Center
is
the
old
Royal
Theatre
that
it's
zarba
and
it
is
completely
intact.
Yes-
and
somebody
mentioned
to
me
the
other
day,
then
we
should
get
him
to
sell
it
to
the
city,
because
the
city
was
offered
that
building
when
reading
owned
it
leading
from
Tokyo
garden
and
they
wouldn't
buy
it,
but
it
has
a
complete
backstage.
It
has
a
proscenium.
B
With
with
dressing
rooms,
it
has,
it
has
five
a
dressing
rooms
for
the
star
and
all
this
stuff,
and
it
has
amazing
acoustics,
because
when
meeting
on
dirt
I
was
still
on
the
Loretto
film
red
Corelle,
we
went
in,
we
had
a
performance
there
and
we
filtered
up,
and
it
was
amazing.
It's
like
a
performing
arts.
It's
like
it
was
a
small
Opera,
House
I
guess,
but
it
has
a
stage
and
everything,
and
all
of
that
is
still
intact.
They
just
put
like
fake
ceilings
in.
F
B
B
C
C
F
E
What
your
biggest
challenge
is
that
Nevada,
which
has
so
much
two
opinions
about
the
oil
when
it
comes
to
rolling
up
the
speed.
You
know
it's
like
you,
should
it
gives
you
and
but
I
tell
you
whenever
you
start
working,
it
is
like
who's.
Gonna
put
them.
You
know
work
into
it
and
everybody
back
to
little
hotties,
though
so
this.
B
E
B
E
B
E
C
C
B
C
D
C
F
With
the
count
all
the
councilmen
bribe,
you
can
and
talk
to
them
explain
this
one
thing
when
they
see
that
there
are
20,
30,
40
people
standing
up
wanting
this,
and
even
you
like
that
save
we
have
the
data.
That's
saying
we
already
have.
You
know
sixty
members
that
believe
in
this
you
know
we
need.
You
know
power
and
people.
So.
C
C
E
E
C
A
B
A
E
E
The
politician
will
say,
but
we're
waiting,
you're
a
doctor.
You
can
talk
us
anywhere
everywhere.
You
can
practice
anywhere
in
your
teaching.
You
know,
why
are
you?
Why
are
you
here?
Well,
there's
something
cool
about
what
I
call
the
marble
cake
of
language,
the
marble
cake
of
culture
that
you
make
or
maybe
fast,
because
a
lot.
F
F
F
E
F
B
They
cut
it
and
it
was
a
disaster
because
that
meant
every
student
who
was
being
exposed
to
art
from
maybe
you
know
the
poorest
neighborhoods,
because
they
could
have
it
in
their
school.
We're
no
longer
being
exposed
to
that.
And
then
you
don't
get
kids
have
all
their
art
and
music
and
stuff
like
that.
When
they're
very
young,
that
their
interest
dies
down,
and
then
they
don't
even
know
they
have
a
talent
because
they
never
had
a
chance
to
explore
and
I
think
that
you
just
wiped
out
a
whole.
D
B
So
what
I
always
start
with
a
gallery
when
people
come
to
me
and
say:
can
we
do
they're
actually
going
to
teach
art
to
disabled
kids
on
Sunday
and
my
gallery,
somebody
asked
me
if
they
could
do
that.
I
said
absolutely
she
said.
Well,
how
much
are
you
going
to
charge
that
said,
there's
no
charge
come
in
and
do
that
because
you,
this
is
something
that
so
words
while
I
don't
care.
You
know,
that's
not
what
the
gallery's
about
I'm
gonna
charge.
B
B
Yeah
they
they
do
their
shows
in
the
gallery
and
I
don't
charge
them.
It's
completely
free
open
to
the
public,
but
they
use
this
space
and
they
get
to
show
their
work.
So
you
know
that's
what
we're
here
for
exposure
to
the
arts
to
bring
the
arts
into
the
Raider,
get
more
and
more
and
more
in
every
aspect
and.
