Some Angelenos say it’s time to learn to live with COVID

Two-hundred spectators participated in the annual Olvera Street Three Kings procession on Thursday. As coronavirus cases soared across Los Angeles last week, Jennifer Chan entered Olvera Street’s Casa California in search of the colorful and decorative papel picado for her baby shower. “I wanted something that said ‘California’ for the party,” said Chan, 28, a La Mirada resident who is six months pregnant and whose East Coast family was flying in for the event. “It hasn’t been easy, but we have to get out and live.” On Thursday evening, 200 spectators participated in the annual Olvera Street Three Kings procession. “We had a lot of interest from the community to have this back,” said Valerie Hanley, 53, Casa California owner and treasurer of the Olvera Street Merchants Assn.
