The heart-tugging reunion in The Kid (1921) between Charlie Chaplin’s Little Tramp and his “adopted” son, Jackie Coogan, remains one of the most emotionally charged scenes in film history. The reunion took place on Olvera Street, a colorful Mexican marketplace and cultural center, where the setting for this iconic scene still stands and is passed unknowingly by hundreds of tourists every day.
