Visited Nuevo Leon (est. 1962) Mexican restaurant today in Chicago's Pilsen Neighborhood. The color, smiles and great food made the visit memorable. As I was leaving, I was attracted to the vendor just outside the door. He was selling candy, gum, toys, tortillas, cups and many other impulse items for which you might find a need. I asked him if I could take his picture and he, rather quietly, said, "Sure...my profile." Not sure I'll ask next time, but self-respect and dignity were obviously important to him.
