LOS ANGELES, United States - For Zohrab Mahdessian, owner of Jasmine's Garden flower shop in Los Angeles, the reopening of some stores in California on Friday couldn't have come at a better time -- Sunday is Mother's Day in the US.
Mahdessian's shop in LA's Los Feliz neighborhood is on a list of retailers allowed to get back to business in California as the state begins lifting a stay-at-home order imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 58-year-old said loyal customers -- some of whom have become friends in the 20 years he has been open -- have put in orders, but he was not sure that will be enough to help him survive the economic losses incurred from the virus-related shutdown.
Elsewhere throughout the county, including in Santa Monica and Venice, few people were seen out shopping, attesting to the difficulty in restarting an economy that has suffered billions of dollars in losses for a state that boasts the fifth-largest economy in the world. The majority of souvenir shops along Hollywood Boulevard also remained shuttered with only a handful of tourists outside the Hard Rock Cafe -- which set up a table on the sidewalk -- buying trinkets.
Hala for sure ayaw ng mga pinoy yan! Gusto ng mga pinoy lockdown lang forever at asa sa government
