“I think it's actually a great thing, this is the street that she lived on we are here in Molina and now to be on the Hollywood walk of fame," said Daniel Luna, a friend of the Quintanilla family. "It's huge. It can show you that you can really be, the impossible is always possible, is what she always." Long ago, a memorial was created by locals after Selena’s passing, on a good day it’s seen by hundreds of people. Now, Selena will have a Star on the Hollywood walk of fame where foot traffic is in the thousands on a regular basis. “I know the family will be all there, they said Eva Longoria will do a proclamation, it will be Selena Day in LA that day. Eva Longoria is from Corpus Christi, so I think it's great that Corpus Christi honors Corpus Christi,” Luna added. We stopped by Selena’s favorite Mexican food restaurant, Hi-Ho, where Selena’s pictures hang on the wall, and faithful customers told us how they felt. “I think it's good because of the fact that it gives us a name. You know people look and see 'Oh, she came from a town like this,' and they can see the town to be beautiful,” said one customer. “There was no other Tejano star like her. She was the queen of Tejano music,” added another. Yes, she is, and was a queen. A queen who represented her people so well, in so many ways.
