The Economy is headed where? ... Tuesday in San Francisco
I'm noticing pretty much the same thing in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula. (If viewing a map, that's the top half of the mitten-shaped part.) Not as empty as those SF shots, but few folks moving. Grocery stores that have anything left to sell have a few shoppers - much fewer than 3 or 4 days ago.
@Old_Joe You certainly are at one of the epicenters of the shelter in place movement. I remember commuting across the Bay Bridge on a daily basis 50 years ago. It was always busy even back then.....
I feel like I've stepped through the mirror into a "the-world-is-ending" science fiction movie.
I think more and more of us are feeling / beginning to feel that way.
“Give us this day our daily bread ...” - Who in hell ever seriously thought we’d be concerned about whether or not we’ll be able to obtain the basic necessities of life at some future point?
Forgot to thank you for the fantastic photos OJ - particularity that bridge.
I was the San Francisco radio technician assigned to 911 and police dispatch in 1989. Quite an evening. I still have the "We did fine in '89" 911 t-shirt, and a couple of plaques from the police chief and the mayor. Yes, the city is actually much quieter now than during that memorable event.
