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)
