Plaza México (Lynwood, California)
The owners hired two Mexican public relations coordinators to select the icons, cultural symbols and events that are portrayed.[1] The coordinators also selected construction materials to build Plaza México in order to produce quality and Mexican authenticity.[1] In addition, during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, community members and other visitors gathered in Plaza Mexico to watch the games and after a victory or tie they would congregate around the Angel of Independence.Most of the visitors are of low or middle-low income status and many some of their families are undocumented immigrants and face harsh border conditions.The Plaza sells different types of souvenirs, such as rosaries, crosses, keychains and T-shirts of Virgin reproductions and Mexico flags and colors.
