Carolyn’s note: From someone who still hears Small Claims cases downtown, this is a good list, but check with the individual businesses as some bars & salons/beauty parlors may just have shut down temporarily due to the latest news from the Governor’s office. But at least restaurants have take out, and the markets must still be open. I just checked the gift card link, and it says 270 of these 1000 cards have been already sold. And this email just came to me last night (April 3, 2020). Stay safe during this Coronavirus pandemic.
