Little Oaxaca sprouts in Phoenix
Tagged: Arizona, Mexico, Oaxaca, PhoenixPosted on: March 12th, 2007“If Sunnyslope had a patron saint, her name would be the Virgin of Solitude.
The black-cloaked woman is the saint of Oaxaca, Mexico, but her image drapes walls in homes and businesses throughout Sunnyslope, one of the Valley’s oldest neighborhoods, nestled at the bottom of Phoenix’s North Mountain.
Over the past decade, so many immigrants from the southern Mexican state have moved into Sunnyslope that the working-class community in north-central Phoenix is becoming known as “Little Oaxaca.” “
