Our old friend Jose Arroyo checks in from Southern California to give us a view of how the pandemic is affecting his professional community in Covina and Upland.
Longtime listeners will remember Jose Arroyo, who was the subject of an interview in summer 2019. On today's show, Andrew catches up with Jose to learn how the pandemic and lockdown are affecting the family restaurants where he works in Covina and Upland, California.
