Cheese train
And to the writer of this story and many others which I have read, I don't mean any disrespect. But people are gonna do what they have to for money and as for the ones who buy the cheese they love it. They get it to make quesadillas and other foods that some of them sale for a living in Tijuana. It's not just like people only buy one block of cheese. Some people buy a ton. I've seen it. But I don't go digging in other peoples business like that. If anything should be written about it should be about the ones who Steal Cheese & Candy Bars and sell them for cheap to go by drugs. Like the first guy mentioned in this story. I know who he his. And while I'm not gonna give his name, he is not Mexican, he is White. And well I pretty much already stated how he does his thing in this comment... But one other thing I was just thinking about and realized. To the writer, why did you not think of it as being anything when you saw a Mexican guy doing it. Only when you saw a Black man or a Caucasian man doing this did it spawn your interest? Are you trying to get these people in trouble or what??? A lot of them have familea and live in TJ bc it is all they can afford. And back to the Mexican, Black, and White people point...... Is it okay for Mexican people to be doing this but not people who are Black or White? Are Mexican people the only ones who struggle??? Maybe in Mexico if they can't cross bc if your lucky you will get paid $20 a day to work down there. So I'm just wondering. What is the difference????— September 12, 2014 2:27 p.m.
Cheese train
Michael Pacillo. I don't think you get what they are saying. And the cheese isn't crappy. Or homemade. It is usually fresh, still cold or cool cheese like you would see at the store. The 2 lb blocks of Monterrey Jack or Mozzarella. So no it doesn't cause/spread illness. Like other things may. This is ridiculous. I can't even believe this is being written about. Some people don't have a job and the only way for them to make money is do that or sell other things. Why didn't Carlos Bey, the writer of this story, talk about the Instant Coffee that everyone sells and people buy. Could have been called the Coffee Train. Or whatever. This is not the only place this happens. When I lived in Philadelphia, which is close to my home town in Maryland, people are always selling stuff on the metro, on the L actually. They sale batteries & food, hell, they sale whatever they can get their hands on from whatever store the stole it from up there. And yes there is some "deterrent" like the tickets and fines that a lot of people get for soliciting on the trolley without a vendors license. Funny story, but a waste of ink and paper I think. However it is "Neighboorhood News" so it is relevant.....— September 12, 2014 2:19 p.m.
