CDC Question 6

Supporting our local economy:

I talked with a local business owner today about the impact that the Corona virus has had on his company, and it was pretty sobering to hear how much this will impact so many facets of business. There are so many local restaurants we love in Athens, and this town would not be the same without these places. I’ve heard ideas of joining together with a group of friends and picking a restaurant each week to support, and I love that. I know we can’t sustain an entire business but I do think there are things we can all do to help. And now there are so many restaurants that deliver so it seems like a no brainer to include a restaurant in our meal planning.
