“I know they don’t celebrate this way in Mexico but this is something that’s been done here in Chicago since before I was born; I would stand up and hang out the sun roof holding the flag with all my strength fighting the wind,” Nuñez said. “It feels good to go down a street and see paisanos — other Mexicans — cruising with their flag.”
