As she mentions, the majority of it was written 12 years ago. The interesting bit (for me) is her re-affirmation at the end. Which does include some "Despite the changes since then thoughts..." "I wrote that a dozen years ago, dashing it off in a few minutes one evening. Felipe Calderon, Morelia’s own, had yet to become president. Narcos were around even then, but they weren’t the center of our universe. Maestras and normalistas overtook the streets, but they were a much quieter bunch back in the day. There was no cuota to the Pacific shores. Altozano was barely a twinkle in its fathers’ eyes. And still, Michoacán remains the best damn state in the Republic. Every time since, when my plane lands at MLM, when I cross over the Michoacán state line, I know I’m home. Thanks for the link, Rolly. Thanks for the post Jennifer Rose.
