(33,735 posts)in my first non-essential essential excursion since July which took me away from my well trodden COVID resupply circle and I noticed a shuttered Taco Bell (I know... I know. Not much of a restaurant.) located on a very busy intersection. Gone. Closed permanently.
There were also many seeming abandoned businesses in the strip malls I passed.
The whole city has become one big Trumperville.
I noticed a Mexican restaurant AND a Taco Bell yesterday near each other - both looked to be closed. At least not open and it was noon on a Tuesday.
I've seen reports about several popular local eateries which are open and so lightly staffed they can't keep up with the call-in orders they do receive.
