At a block party in Bell, California, a predominantly Latino Los Angeles suburb, food trucks, jewelry booths and other eclectic vendors lined the roads and walkways earlier this month.
Multi-generational families brought their
abuelitas and teenage kids, savoring the perceived unwinding of a more than year-long pandemic.
âIt was just an opportunity, just to get out of the house and smile,â said David Favela, CEO of Border X Brewing, the eventâs co-sponsor.
In many ways, the celebration marked a return to form. Favela is all about community and culture, and from
loterÃa to Latin jazz, there was always something happening at his breweries in Bell and San Diego.

California has achieved a milestone in its five-month-long vaccination campaign: More than 50% of residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis.
Today, roughly 19.6 million Californians have received at least one injection. Overall, about 38% of California residents are fully vaccinated, meaning they have received either both shots of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
After an initially slow rollout, California has gained steady ground when it comes to administering vaccinations. California ranks 12th among all states in the nation for having the greatest percentage of its residents vaccinated with at least one dose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
