IS ANGELITA'S CASA DE CAFE BECOMING BROWNSVILLE'S POLITICAL HANGOUT?

Angelita's Casa de Cafe

There are places, legendary places in Washington, D.C., like the notorious Le Diplomante brasserie, where it is said "you might not see a Clinton, but will find a John Boehner," places where politicos hang.

El Hueso de Fraile, downtown on Elizabeth Street is such a place, featuring live music, poetry reading and coffee, but Angelita's Casa de Cafe on Boca Chica exudes that same vibe.

Owners Martin and Angelita Leal greet everyone who opens their bistro's door with "Welcome home!" even while a Whine and Cheez podcast is being livestreamed on Sunday.

An eclectic mix on young people, retired school teachers and activists wander in for black coffee, art, a latte, cupcake or even a gingerbread man or just to listen in along the fringes of the podcast.

BTW, city commissioner candidate Nurith Galonsky is set for next Sunday's show at 1:30 PM with one of her opponents, William Garza mulling over his participation.

Mr. Garza expressed the concern last night that "your partner is biased," referencing Erasmo Castro, but he may still show up.

This past Sunday, former City Manager Charlie Cabler, a mayoral candidate and Michael Rodriguez, running for District 1 City Commissioner, gave us some lively commentary.

  1. Lively commentary? I was disappointed by the lack of commentary. It was just a bunch of jibberish. Charlie Cabler never answered your questions. Michael Rodriguez has good intentions, but it seems to me the District 1 incumbent,Rick Longoria, has a better grasp of the issues. The city commission needs peoe who can communicate with the people. I was not impressed by either candidate.

  2. Galonsky? hilarious! Never had a job in her life besides working for her daddy. Tired of corrupt Canadates. Do you want to discuss the Casa de nylon deal Nurith? Lincoln park? The personality of a tick.
