You forgot:

"your neighbor keeps chickens and goats in their back yard, and you're always worried you'll find one of them dead on your doorstep" Santeria is not just a Cuban (minority religion) but a Caribbean religion.

Hautuay Beer
Iron Beer

You live in a $40,000 house in Hialeah, but you paid $100,000.00 for your daughters Quinceanera!
