An Advocate for the Rio Grande Valley

Being a resident of the Rio Grande Valley, I often hear fellow residents express unfavorable opinions about our region. It is for this reason that I am starting this blog, to help point out some of the great things in the Rio Grande Valley. Certainly, we don't have the cosmopolitan culture of say New York, Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles. Nevertheless, we do have our own culture. It is a distinct mixture of American, Texan, Tejano (no, Tejano and Texan are not the same), and Mexican. In future articles, I want to celebrate this distinctness and point out shining examples of our local culture.
