Chilangos are what people who are from Mexico City, the "D.F" are called. David Lida has been living in Mexico City for 15 years and although some of First Stop in the New World, Mexico City the Capital of the 21rst Century is more for gringos, a lot of it is interesting to chilangos or tapatios for that matter. Mr.Lida talks about taxicabs, high rents, prostitutes, drug addicts, street kids, Carlos Slim etc. He even talks to some old vedettes and mentions Olga Briskin and Lyn May. Vedettes are female performers who have shows and are always provocative and scantily dressed. Olga Briskin used to come to Guadalajara and in the paper El Informador there would be an ad for her show with her dressed like Elvira, but playing a violin. Very cultured. I had forgotten her presence in this world.
