Fabulously presented history of the pharmacy, newspapers, and murals. Wonderful information, characters, and traditional entities. I knew very well the subsequent pharmacist, La Prensa publisher and columnist, and muralist whom I hired when chair of Goodwill to do his beautiful mural on our large wall at the corner of Commerce and Santa Rosa, which continued the tradition that depicted the beauty, courage, and elegance of a sensational family of lions. Jesse Treviño art continues to truly bless our city! And so do the decades of contributions by Rueben Munguia and Leticia Van de Putte.
