A lot of our local downtown businesses need our support and I know *I* can't wait to get back downtown to shop and dine. That being said there are a lot of things we can do now to make things more tolerable AND help out our small businesses.
Please follow the CDC's recommendations on staying home to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Here's a list of places where you can get curbside food, pick up groceries, restock supplies, and stay active.
