Rene Tejada, 54, owner of the Discount Broadway Swap Meet on Broadway between 7^{th and 8th streets, was selling Mexican and American flags outside his store for $2 each, and chilled bottles of Gatorade, water and soda for $1.25 each.}

Tejada, who spoke halting English, said the wares were for marchers, and he made a waving motion with his hand as he pointed to the flags.

His was the only store open on the block, except for a fast food restaurant selling hamburgers and burritos.
