My best friend and I go out to dinner every Tuesday at one of two Mexican restaurants. I am scared for the people at both of them. One just changed hands; the guy bought it a couple of months ago and is still waiting on his liquor license. He and his wife and extended family basically do all the work and the food is really good. When the weather is nice we like to go there and eat on the patio. The other has been there for quite awhile and they all know us. The food is also really good. We've been alternating recently. ICE hasn't come around so far *fingers crossed* and I'm hoping if they do the reaction will be something like the one in my hometown when they came to a meatpacking plant there---solid resistance. The nearest city (Harrisonburg) is blue and is, so I'm told, a sanctuary city.
