Plus, many Hispanics began moving to our little peninsula, once a predominantly white fishing village. We all blended just fine. And everyone I knew was at home eating Yankee pot roast, red beans and rice, lasagne, or carne guisada. We didn't see color or ethnicity so much. <br /><br />Our little fishing village has grown tremendously in my lifetime (not necessarily for the better) as people flocked here for the decent school and seaside living.
