It’s also where, on a fateful summer night more than 40 years ago, López Rivera’s group detonated sticks of dynamite in a spate of Downtown bombings that injured five.
The decision by President Barack Obama on Tuesday to reduce López Rivera s 70-year sentence and Miranda’s reaction show that time in the eyes of some can heal all wounds, no matter how explosive their cause.
López Rivera who once lived in Humboldt Park is revered today as a mentor by U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and exalted as a hero by local activists.
Francisco Garcia, since 1989 in the Zona Rio.
Francisco Garcia, 63 years, owns the last analogic photo lab in Tijuana. His business had been offering its services since 1989 on the same spot; La Plaza del Zapato in the Zona Rio Tijuana. But this year he couldn’t keep the business open any longer due to Covid.
After finishing his studies in Guadalajara as electronics engineer, he moved to Ciudad Obregon in Sonora where he got a job as maintenance assistant he found advertised in the newspaper. .
“They told me I got the job, so when I showed up to work the first day, I realized that my job was in a photography lab. I was 28 years old, but since 14 I was a big fan of photography.

Kim Foxx and Luis Gutierrez
Two days after sharply castigating Kim Foxx for her handling of the Adam Toledo shooting case, former Chicago congressman Luis Gutierrez says he’s on the way to patching things up with the Cook County state’s attorney.
Gutierrez ripped Foxx over the weekend for “turn(ing) your back on all of us that seeking justice in the city of Chicago.” He was particularly upset at Foxx’s concession that she failed to look at tape of the police killing of the 13-year-old before one of her prosecutors said in open court that he was killed in an “armed confrontation.”

Radio Caracol is one of Miami s rare moderate Spanish-language stations. Democrats fear a new owner will use it to broadcast more right-wing disinformation.
Radio Caracol, 1260 on the AM dial, has long been a staple of Spanish-language radio in Miami. This month, Caracol is being sold to a Hialeah-based media company called América CV, which also owns a Spanish-language TV station in Hialeah, América TeVé, Channel 41.
In years past, that radio sale might not have turned heads. But as it’s being finalized, Caracol has booted former Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez and his popular, four-hour daily talk show La Hora del Regreso (Afternoon Rush Hour) from the airwaves.
