Show INTERVIEW: Francis Yanez Page 7 FY: scrounge around, say for two, three, or four weeks looking for a house, and we couldn't find a house 'cause there was too many kids. VM: Yes. FY: We were Mexicans, too many kids. And they couldn't put up with the kids, you know. They could put up with a dog or cats, but when it came to a family---a large family, they just couldn't---couldn't see it. So I can distinctly remember remember we used to live out in the---some of the lowest part of the city. You know, we used to live close to the railroad tracks. That's where they had the---some of the cheapest houses,' you know, for rent and stayed there. Well, the rents, you couldn't pay any---any more than say maybe eight dollars a month, or ten dollars a month, 'cause the-the owner couldn't get any more, 'cause there was no money. It was all tight. I mean nobody was letting it go, you know. The rich was rich, and the poor was poor. (Laugh) VM: Yes, ah---where did most of the Mexicans live ah---do you remember about this time, here in Salt Lake County? FY: Right here where I still live. Right here on this west side, uh huh. From about second West to about Ninth West, and from about ah---Fifth North to about, let's see, oh, about Ninth South. That's how far, the--the Mexican community was. Still |
