After a full morning at Six Flags, Carlos Martinez, Laura Rivas and their two young sons needed a break. The boys were hungry, so the family grabbed some pizza at the amusement park.
That’s when they heard a familiar sound that actually can be rare in St. Louis. Martinez and Rivas perked up when they heard a few women speaking Spanish with their distinct dialect and accent.
Martinez and Rivas were intrigued when they recognized the familiar cadence of their Caribbean island nation early last month at Six Flags. What happened next is typical Carlos Martinez.
He reached out to the young Dominicans cleaning at the amusement park.
