Mexicans Leaving facts
While investigating facts about Mexicans Leaving, I found out little known, but curios details like:
In 1943, a Mexican farmer named Dionisio Pulido had a volcano start to form in his corn field. By the early 50s it was over 400 meters tall. Before being evacuated and leaving his home for the last time, he left a sign that read “This volcano is owned and operated by Dionisio Pulido.”
Before his arrest, Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán would sometimes stroll into restaurants, take peoples' cellphones, eat a meal, then leave after paying everyone's tabs.
