MN has closed bars and restaurants now too.

I had heard a story about popular NY restaurants getting backed up for weeks of orders, so I called a local restaurant to find out how they’re handling to-go orders. He said just call it in 10 minutes early and call again when I’m at the back door. He was kind of happily surprised that I was calling to check. This is from a place called Shamrocks that would have been packed to the gills with St. Pat’s day patrons. They’re known for their tremendous hamberders.

Austin (Texas, not Minnesnowta) just shut down bars. Restaurants my stay in business if they shift to delivery/pick-up only. Movie theaters, no. Taco and other food trucks, open, but outdoor seating limited to no more than ten people.

Time frame, immediate. Duration, unknown.

This is a very, very service industry dependent town. It’s going to fuck a lot of people over. Damn tough for them. We know lots of servers. Many are also musicians.

It’s also the right thing for the City to do to flatten the curve.
