Georgetown is in fact located in Delaware, but over the last decade Guatemalan immigrants have taken over many of its neighborhoods, bringing profound transformation to the area. The full account of this evolution is given by Christopher Caldwell in “the weekly Standard” with an article entitled “Hola, Delaware!”.
I posted about a similar article in a tale of two towns about a month ago, emphasizing how these examples provide solid evidence of the power of the chicano network.
I’m thinking it would be interesting to keep a record of these symbiotic cities. Not the usual cosmopolitanism of big cities, but the quiet adoption of a predominant foreign culture by small towns.
