Update: I posted about my family’s Olvera Street restaurant… I didn’t expect this response
Hi everyone,
I wanted to come back and say thank you.
Last week, I shared a post about my family’s restaurant on Olvera Street and what we’ve been going through. I honestly didn’t expect it to reach so many people.
We’ve had people come in saying they saw the post, messages of support, and even just kind words that meant a lot to our family and our staff.
Running a small, multi-generational family business can feel isolating sometimes, so seeing that kind of support reminded me why we’ve kept going.
Things are still challenging, but this definitely gave us a boost—both financially and emotionally.
A lot of people asked how they could help. The biggest things are honestly:
• Visiting Olvera Street
• Supporting small businesses in the area
• Sharing our story
We’re also working on some ideas to help keep the merchants here going long-term, including a community effort to support the businesses on the street.
If you’ve stopped by recently—thank you. If you’re planning to—come say hi.
It really means more than you know.
—Greg
