Can You Help a Fellow Los Alumnos?
Hi, I'm John Gunvalson, a transracial adoptee from
Quito, Ecuador
raised from age 2 in west central MN. I am presently finishing my MA thesis while
studying at
Bethel University
. I am looking for transracial adoptees ages 25 and up raised in rural MN as youth
(where you live as an adult does not affect the study).
To participate there is 15 question multiple choice survey for the adoptee and a
corresponding 45 question survey for the parent. To participate or to find out more
you can contact me at the following e-mail:

Chiapas ~ Genre: Mexican cuisine
Located in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis, is this neighborhood favorite. Named
for the region of Mexico where the specialty flavor comes from, they have several
Mexican favorites on the menu.
To name a few:
- Burritos here are so big appetizers
aren't necessary, but why not, they are also very pleasing to the eye as well as
the stomach.
- The Enchiladas Verdes aren't heavy but decadent with your choice
of meat and a tangy green salsa kick.
- Being respectful to the neighborhood
they even have a few entrees from Ecuador such as Lomo and Churasco both are a must
try!
Located at
2416 Central Avenue NE, Minneapolis, MN, it is near the intersection of Lowry and Central
with plenty of street parking. Their phone number is
612-789-2971.
The smiles on the friendly multilingual waitstaff
will keep you coming back for more.
