When COVID-19 cases surged last winter, Van Nuys was among the five San Fernando Valley neighborhoods with the highest infection rates. Along its main drag, business owners have felt the effects.
Van Nuys Boulevard is a study in contrasts. Lined with restaurants, car dealerships and a swap meet, it looked as busy as ever in late May. But if you look past the blur of cars and buses zooming along the street, you’ll notice boarded up businesses and stores that’ve been barred shut. For the establishments that survived, it has been a struggle.
