In contrast, I have a friend in Chicago who posted on Facebook yesterday that he and his family had driven along Lakeshore, downtown, and around the north side, and it was like a ghost town.

There are still a few places closed or reduced but overall it feels like things are almost back to normal. Businesses and people are ignoring JBE it seems like.

Just need the Casinos open and all the traffic from Houston and we will be up and running again.




It's been steadily increasing. Just looking at the traffic around town when I was driving home from work last Thursday, you would not have known anything was different.

weekend before last me and the gf went to Lowes on 14. line out the door. probably 2-hour wait

i told her no way. luckily home depot was open

we went to Lowes at like 8am saturday to avoid the line


FYI you can just buy all the shite you want online, and once your order is ready for in store pick up, you can drive up, and call them, and they will carry everything out to you. Ive been getting things at Lowes, Home Depot, and Academy for three or so weeks without getting out of my truck, just like my wife does at Walmart. I hope they continue to offer this service ever once things get "back to normal".

I would think businesses would want to make spending money with them as easy as possible

Can't take a left turn in Lafayette once again.

It was a good six week run.

Buy some clippers at Walmart, have some beers and turn the kids loose.

That is the exact opposite of what it was like.

Maybe yesterday, and downtown is kind of a ghost town on weekends even in normal times (like Midtown Manhattan), but the Northside was packed with people out and about all weekend. There were a lot of parties, people in the parks, etc. First weekend that felt relatively normal-ish in two months.

Ordered some clippers on ebay this morning. Hopefully my better half has a steady hand.

A former barber is dead and mine is scared shitless of da Coronas. Not sure when I will get a real cut on common at again, older guys aren’t going to want to go back to work.
