On Wednesday, the Westside CAN Center was the site of a Christmas Eve fiesta for day laborers. Nicolas Orgunio (from left), his brother Carlos Orgunio, Joel Godinez and Rueben Dominguez said grace before eating dinner.

By the time the Christmas Eve fiesta wound down, three pigs had been butchered, the heads and feet set aside for a New Year's delicacy to be prepared later.

And on December 26, 2008, business as usual. In case you are wondering, this is not Los Angles, it's at 2136 Jefferson, Kansas City Missouri.

More tomorrow.
