Happy Cinco de Mayo 
Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. The date is perhaps best recognized in the United States as a date to celebrate the culture and experiences of Americans of Mexican ancestry. Take a moment Monday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Many clubs in Oak Lawn have drink and entertainment specials. Go out! Have a Corona or shot of Cuervo with your friends. Cedar Springs should be hopping!
