Episode #82 - Pointless rule in schools

When your car stops working, it’s not just having a bad day; it’s had a "breakdown"

But hey, it happens to people too! When you’re totally stressed out

and start crying in the grocery store because they’re out of your favourite ice cream flavour
that’s a "breakdown" too!

But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Whether it’s your car or your emotions, just remember:

we all break down sometimes. But please, try not to do it over ice cream flavour .

See you next time, hopefully in one piece!

Una de las alcaldías más verdes de la CDMX y con mucha historia es sin lugar a dudas la Magdalena Contreras. Ubicada al sur poniente del Valle de México, es el hogar de importantes áreas naturales protegidas como el Corredor Ecoturístico los Dinamos y el Parque de la Comunidad de San Bernabé Ocotepec; además de que a través de ella aún fluye la única corriente viva de la ciudad, que es el Río Magdalena.

Tampoco se puede dejar de mencionar la valiosa cultura ferroviaria del lugar, así como el tremendo esfuerzo de los barrios originarios por preservar las tradiciones que les preceden. Alguna vez conocida como “la piedra que bebe agua” –gracias a su imponente belleza natural- la Magdalena Contreras se niega a darle la espalda a sus raíces, en medio de la vorágine capitalina que todo lo devora a su paso.

Aunque muchas de las alcaldías deben su nombre a personajes ilustres de la nación, ese no es el caso de la Magdalena Contreras. Las tribus prehispánicas le conocían como Atlitic (“la piedra que bebe agua”); sin embargo, durante la Conquista arribó un séquito de frailes franciscanos y dominicos, que no tardaron en construir una ermita dedicada a Santa María Magdalena. El título de Contreras, por su parte, viene de la familia de Tomás Contreras quien, en el siglo XVI, fundó un obraje y cuyos apellidos se instalaron permanentemente en la región.  

Dadas sus insuperables condiciones –entre ubicación geográfica, clima y recursos ambientales-; la Magdalena Contreras se consolidó como el epicentro de una de las industrias que más aportaron al desarrollo económico en el siglo pasado: la textil. Después de la fundación del primer batán (fábrica de telas corrientes) en 1543, muchas otras se asentaron en la zona, aprovechando el caudal del Río Magdalena para hacer funcionar sus máquinas. El Águila Mexicana, Tizapán, Santa Teresa, Loreto y La Magdalena fueron algunas, esta última; de las más importantes y modernas de la época llegando a tener hasta 8 mil 400 husos.
