You know, the last couple times I've driven around this beloved town, I've yet to spot any real Spanglish usage. I didn't drive down 2nd Street (downtown), but I don't think there's much Spanglish use in Calexico signage.
You're likely to find more typos than Spanglish around here. |

Californa* + Mexico = Calexico
The name of this city is a combination of USA and Mexico.
History proves that Spanglish is the unofficial language.
*I know California is a Spanish name. |

I'll admit El Centro has the worst Spanglish store name ever:
Chicalitronics |
