Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.

qué satisfacción ver a Mercedes en tu blog! Aprecio mucho tu trabajo y te agradezco que difundas a una artista del tamaño de "La Negra". Otra vez gracias, desde Argentina.
