Somehow we all push through safely, and for a moment we pause inside the stadium, the open space disorienting after such close quarters.

At the H-E-B in Houston's Alief section, live tilapia and catfish swim in a tank in the seafood department, and fresh lemongrass and rambutan are stacked in the produce aisle--all favorites of Alief's large Asian community. In San Antonio's Deco-District there are fresh-baked pan dulce and nopalitos, an edible part of a cactus plant, for the area's many Hispanic shoppers. And in Houston's Westchase H-E-B, Indian shoppers can pick up aromatic ajwain and black mustard...
