Edward Flores, 56, a fourth-generation owner of Juanita's Cafe on Olvera Street, stands for a photo in his restaurant in Los Angeles, Friday, June 4, 2021. Flores said he has gone deep into debt keeping Juanita's Café, a small food stand in his family for three generations, open. Business is down more than 87%, he said. In April, his best month during the pandemic, he had $3,100 in sales, but that pales in comparison to his rent of $3,625 — even though it was forgiven — not to mention utilities, insurance and property tax. On his worst day of the pandemic, he worked alone for 13 hours and recorded sales of $11.25. "I didn't have a doomsday thought. I just was just flabbergasted," he said. "I thought what an incredible waste of time." (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)

A boy chases a bird on an empty Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles, Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2020. The tree-covered brick alley typically teeming with tourists is empty. Many of the shops that sell everything from traditional Mexican folk dresses to paintings of artist Frida Kahlo to sombreros are padlocked and the ones open have few, if any, customers. The strains of mariachi trios have fallen silent and the fragrance of taquitos frying has become less pungent. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
