Ok Placita of Olvera is on Los Angeles Street right across the street from Union Station. This place is really cool they have plenty of stalls in selling all sorts of items ranging from Ceramic figures of Mayan/Aztec gods to candies and sugar skull, to candles, leather goods, and catholic images. you can also find clothing and really good Taquitos. Besides it's a really cool place to go and see where Los Angeles was born, You will also see Pico House used to be Los Angeles Tallest Building and first Sky Scraper it now houses a museum I believe you'll also see LA's First Fire House and yes they do have a donkey BUT... You have to go on a weekend for sure to catch the Donkey or during the week during a festival like day of the dead. Depending on how you get there I would choose to take the Red Line so that you could check out Union Station.

Take the either the red or gold lines to Union Station and just cross the street. If you drive, it's near Alameda and Sunset (Cesar Chavez) at the north end of downtown. Olvera Street is the center of the "El Pueblo de Los Angeles" historic park, the original site where the city was founded. It's both fun and historically enlightening, and most of the attractions are free. The place also has some of the best food and shopping in L.A.

Olvera street is right across from the Union Station in Downtown LA, right in El Pueblo.
Just try to find that.
And also i think it crosses cesar chavez blvd./street
the donkey is not there all the time (it's a fake one by the way).
you should try going there on a sunday, there are so many people there ...so it is the most probable time for the donkey to be there. it's really interesting to see.
also, there is a really cute little cafe in the olvera street, it's called cafe de souza....go there and try a mexican hot chocolate...sooooo good.
you can also try to wikipedia olvera street, or downtown LA

I'm guessing you're talking about Olvera Street which is in downtown L.A. I don't ever remember seeing a donkey there, at least not a live one. It's a nice place to go though.

I think your cousin may have discovered something at one of the historic early pueblo houses or museums in the Union Station area which was one of the earliest areas of development in Old Los Angeles, California in Spanish times...?????
