Five de Mayo?

Tweet

Several years ago, I lived in Kennett Square, which is the Mushroom Capital of the World. It has a large Hispanic population, a lot of them working on the mushroom farms. Anyway, I moved there during the summer, and late the following April I started seeing flyers reading “5 de Mayo.” For a split second I wondered, What the hell is five de Mayo? I then started laughing. This time of year, I remember that story and chuckle again.
