Chicago - quieter overall but heard from my friends who live in bar areas that bars were packed due to St Patty’s day 😔

The only thing people are taking seriously is hoarding. Went to Target and Costco for a normal shopping trip, stores are wiped clean. Everyone is preparing for a lockdown.

I have noticed fewer cars in major shopping center parking lots in northern VA.

NYC is definitely quieter but not sure how much of that is the absence of European tourists.

Long Island restaurants were packed last night (drove by/did NOT partake). People are not heeding the warnings...

NYC - definitely less people outside. Not quite "ghost town" yet but definitely more space to walk in Manhattan.

Also, restaurants operating at 50% capacity, but that's just due to laws. Ones I went to would had turn people down at the door :(

My last day at work in Rosslyn VA was Friday. Probably 30% of the normal density for that area. Both traffic and pedestrians.

DC- not really, went out all weekend

Why

Seattle is a ghost town. The streets are sparsely travelled at rush hour. You see few people on the street down town. Neighborhoods are a little more active still.

Lots of restaurants have shut their doors for the duration of the crisis.

Yes. Bay Area is much quieter and significantly reduced cars on the road and travelers on BART. Can’t speak for bars... I’m stay home and cancelled my spring break trip. Also, I have an Airbnb and my upcoming guests have all cancelled.

NYC, definitely a ghost town

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example

Does anyone know a hidden gem for dress shirts and suits? I haven’t found a good place that sells the clothes with the slim fit I like for cheap. H&M is like the closest place I found that is cheap & slim fit but it’s not that great if you’re 6’2 or taller … I’m guessing the best option will be to find a local tailor 🤔
