Summary
Tom Rivera interviews Andres Palacios, a man who moved to Colton in 2008 and is learning about the history of the South side. In this interview, Andres Palacio describes his living in Mexico and then his life in the United States after arriving in 1969. He speaks of his son and the buildings that Palacio helps with in the reconstruction. Rivera confirms information that Palacios had heard regarding the famous Panaderia Martinez, the family who ran it, and the fate of the local businesses before the year 2015. There is also discussion between the two men regarding zoning for buildings in South Colton and how fixing them would help. If buildings were fixed and open for those who would like to purchase it to run a business, it would be beneficial for the community. Local businesses will help the people of South Colton more than retail chains like Stater Bros. The interview ends with a lighthearted discussion about businesses that had come and gone as well as Rivera’s indigenous heritage.
