Let us not forget how delicious tacos are

There’s something I can’t stay silent on any longer.

But something totally inappropriate has been built on the site of something holy and sacred, and we are turning our backs on history to accommodate a minority.

When the Del Taco on Fourth Ave. went out of business, it struck everybody hard. Everybody was in shock. I remember as a community coming together and being closer than we ever were.

But that solidarity was short lived when a loan company — the very same type of industry that was responsible for Del Taco going out of business — opened in the abandoned Mexican food franchise.

I find it personally offensive that our economy was attacked by these places, and that we allow permits to be issued to allow these attackers to take over the remnants of places they have destroyed.

I know what the opponents are going to say — that the economic collapse wasn’t the fault of payday loan companies. That most financial institutions are good, and it’s just a small number of them that have corrupted the entire industry. That they are still Americans and should have the same rights all Americans enjoy.

But do they have to exercise those rights in the same building where the economic disaster hit home? Shouldn’t they be two blocks away or something out of a sign of respect?

Let us not forget how delicious tacos are and those responsible for taking it from us.
