6 mins confidence: 
| desarmadero de autos car breaker Explanation: Not a 'junk yard' - a 'desarmadero' is a place where old/damaged vehicles are dismantled to retrieve 'used spares'. (Some would call it 'recycling'). I see nothing 'inconsistent' w.r.t. "hotdog stand or a street vendor", especially considering the inclusion in the ST of "o, incluso," - suggesting this is one of the more-extreme forms of 'informal' trading being dealt with by the authorities. |
