You have a lot of S Viet Namese immigrants up there. They have a drawl too.
Alief is the section of the city I live in. The whole neighborhood is Asians except for us and a few Hispanics. All of the Asians cook outside. When we walk the dog near sunset we have had thoughts of jumping the fences and stealing the food off the grill at those Asian houses.
A few blocks from us is a small Chinatown. Very interesting restaurants around here.
