Here in DC things are still dead in the middle of the day, but maybe that’s a DC thing. In Annapolis where I live covid effectively ended more than a year ago, apart from the punitive measures on kids. I was talking with a guy who worked for a new local restaurant chain (just two locations near Annapolis) that opened last year. He was shocked to hear things were so bad in DC, because they had a gangbusters opening year.
