The Zocalo opened up

The word Zocalo means the base of a statue or column. In the main square in Mexico City, in Colonial times, they planned on erecting a column, but it was never completed. People would say: “meet you at the zocalo.” The name stuck and this square became known as the Zocalo. This has transferred to other Mexican cities where they refer to their main square as the Zocalo.
