I recently came across an online article about the band Calexico which opened up by providing the readers with what presumably is the writer's vague portrayal of the city we all love so dearly, Calexico.

The Edmonton Journal wrote:
Calexico is a California town on the Mexican border, where jewelers get shot in the head for $20,000 and bootleggers used to smuggle alcohol into the States via underground tunnels.


Cultures collide in Calexico ... the town and the band

Now, in all my time in this area I don't recall any of these incidents happening. Maybe I just don't read, see and hear all the news that happens, but I'm pretty sure I would know about this if it had occurred. Maybe not.

Is the writer's work fiction or do we really inhabit a town full of bandits? If Calexico is being falsely accused of these allegations, do we do anything about it? Do we even give a shit?

Maybe now is the time to recruit individuals for the Calecia.com Army and declare war on this nation to the north.

Now, we know what the tunnel was going to be used for.
