Jose Angel “Chito” Martiarena, a Del Rio, Texas native is often seen pushing a train of children’s wagons with flashy balloons and road cones attached to a lawnmower down Del Rio’s Veteran’s Boulevard.
Chito’s specialty is mowing lawns, including the grassy medians of Veteran’s Boulevard. He can be seen out there day, night, hot, cold – it doesn’t seem to matter – and he doesn’t take a cent.
Everyone wonders why Chito mows endlessly for free, especially because his disabilities prevent him from speaking. In fact, his physical disabilities give him every excuse to not work at all, but he’s not that kind of man. Chito just sees things a little differently than us narrow-minded, semi-successful citizens.
