Conmovedora despedida de don Carlos tras 63 años en el Palacio del Colesterol: "los voy a extrañar"
Bogotá vive el fin de una era en los alrededores del estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín. El domingo 1 de febrero, don Carlos, el comerciante e hincha ferviente de Independiente Santa Fe más emblemático del sector, anunció su retiro definitivo del tradicional Palacio del Colesterol.
TL;DR
- Don Carlos, a long-time food vendor and Independiente Santa Fe fan, is closing his stall known as 'Palacio del Colesterol' near El Campín stadium.
- The closure is due to the stadium's modernization and urban renewal project, which requires businesses to vacate.
- After 63 years, Don Carlos decided not to continue under the new concession's terms and costs.
- He will continue his culinary business in a new location in the Kennedy locality.
- The stall was a neutral meeting point for fans of both Santa Fe and Millonarios.
