“See, we don’t have to wear the masks no more,” said customer Dario Machado. “We’re free! It’s like freedom.”Businesses like the iconic Tam O’Shanter in Los Feliz celebrated not only the return to business but their 100th anniversary.“Oh my gosh, it feels so good. Look at all these people here, everything is like back! We’re back,” said managing partner John Lindquist. “We started in 1922. Los Feliz Boulevard at the time, if you can believe it, was a dirt road.
After the economic roller coaster many businesses had to endure throughout the pandemic, Lindquist was excited to see his loyal customers return. “The last couple of years we’ve kept it very small with our family for St. Patrick’s Day,” said customer Makayla Ruth Spellman. “So this is wild. It’s surreal.”Law enforcement will be cracking down on drunk and drugged drivers during the holiday. Last year on St. Patrick’s Day, three people were killed and 76 were hurt in DUI crashes in California. In comparison, no one died in 2020 but 31 were hurt.
