Description
Carolyn Chavez, having to live in Salinas all her life, shares with me the history of Salinas that she remembers. She tells us about her parents and their agricultural background. Carolyn being the only child in her family, finds acceptance and joy in the Chavez family. She tells us about her memories of a restaurant located and owned by her mother-in-law called "the Alfaro's." Despite focusing on the negative, Carolyn focuses on the positive. She remembers a town that everybody accepted one another and lived in a harmony. Carolyn, avoids talking about conflicts nor her time's issues. She wishes for the best of Chinatown and gets fascinated by the idea of making Chinatown the new Santana Row.
