After 57 years, Olvera Street’s longtime burro business has reached its final day, but a new effort from LA City Councilman Kevin De Leon may save the popular photo stand.
However, on Thursday, Councilman De Leon told NBC4 he plans to file a motion at Friday’s city council meeting an in attempt to save the longtime family-owned shop. El Pueblo’s general manager, Arturo Chavez, told NBC4 last week there is currently a “contract dispute” but that the business could stay past the May 16 vacate date until Richard Hernandez could plead his case to El Pueblo’s Board of Commissioners at their next hearing on May 23.
"When I received a letter on May 1, it just became the darkest moment in my life. It really has,” Hernandez said. “Last night, I couldn't sleep. I’ve been up. I can't sleep. I'm thinking, What am I going to do? Where am I going to go? What's going to happen to my kids tuition? You know, my rent?"
