Mr. KELLY'S, Mexico's Classic Hamburger Joint, bids farewell after 5 decades.


 "Hamburguesas Mr. Kelly's", Mexico City's iconic hamburger place since 1972, closes its doors today, Sunday 24, 2024. Only four stores existed at one time and all of them disappeared until just one, over at Insurgentes Avenue remained standing. Today it bids goodbye to its many customers. I used to take my son Ricardo, to the Av. Universidad Branch when he came out of school every other Friday for a family lunch. Great times then, and the hamburgers were delicious!!!  I visited the hamburger joint for the last time on Friday, Dec. 29, 2017, and the hamburgers were still as tasty as ever. Farewell Mr. Kelly's!

NOVEMBER 22, 1963

 THIS HAPPENED 61 YEARS AGO! I was only 12 years old but I remember very well the impact these news had all over the world. We stood up in class and kept one minute in silence, praying for JFK. 













The killer is aprehended...


...and then, shot!

Discussing politics, sports and religion with friends!

This is a cartoon I posted in 2020 but it hasn't lost its relevance.
Incredibly, I've lost more friendships arguing about these three subjects more than any other topics
 and guess what --- I don't even really care about politics, religion or sports!
