The city of Los Angeles is wasting money on this? Stupid city officials in action.
For Heaven's sake @cityoflosangeles.bsky.social @mayor.lacity.gov, put the guy on the lease, settle this, and save our tax dollars and this nice tradition.

Cielito Lindo appreciation post! Made sure to stop by Olvera Street's historic eatery yesterday after visiting the new temporary exhibit at the Tranquilo Gallery. #OlveraStreet. #LosAngeles
Wonderful to see this pop-up exhibit about the Olvera Street merchants (featuring photos/items from their own collections). Loved hearing #OlveraStreet history from the long-time merchants! #LosAngeles

ICYMI: 🕊️ Susanna MacManus 🕊️ “had grown up helping out at Cielito Lindo, sometimes falling asleep in the booths of the tiny restaurant while her mother, Ana Natalia Guerrero Robertson, & grandmother, founder Aurora Guerrero, prepped for another day...” www.latimes.com/obituaries/s... #OlveraStreet
Soon after [América Tropical] was created, the portion that was visible from the #OlveraStreet pedestrian path was whitewashed. Later, the entire thing was covered. But, over the years, the white paint began to peel off, revealing the imagery,” @cmonstah.bsky.social. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
While in Los Angeles, #DavidAlfaroSiqueiros painted the mural “América Tropical” at #OlveraStreet.
“The mural’s message was clear—Siqueiros did not buy into the story he was asked to convey, and offered instead a scathing indictment of the powers that be.” Getty: blogs.getty.edu/iris/a-mural...
PLEASE give an update about how Olvera Street is doing. That place is a must see when in SoCal and a HISTORICAL LANDMARK.

Less than a year after #OlveraStreet opened as a Mexican marketplace where “romance sang the love song of yesterday” (to use Christine Sterling’s words), immigration authorities raided the Plaza.
"The Placita site was chosen for its maximum psychological impact..." -> www.google.com/books/editio...
This plaza has seen it all immigration raids, murals covered up, and community celebrations #csudhMSW501 #OlveraStreet
Took the Las Angelitas del Pueblo tour and learned so much from the amazing guide, Mr. Flores. He brought to life the history that often gets overlooked, Olvera Street holds generations of stories and resilience. #csudhMSW501 #olverastreet
