My vote would be for any story receiving 1000 votes or more, to be turned into a segment for this incredible new series. "Sounds in Oaxacalifornia" is a great story - and it was very difficult to 'oppose' it, especially since the two stories are so completely different. Each one beautifully illustrate the breadth of culture available to us in Southern California. That said, Happy Birthday Shari Elf!!!
