Community Temperature Check #1: Chris, Desdamona, Holly, Julie, Tara, and Tom
The last 10 days have been a whirlwind, in which many of us have been trying to get a handle on the Coronavirus Crisis, how it’s likely to impact our lives, and what we should be doing—as individuals, families, groups of friends, and local businesses. In the process of trying to understand the bigger picture, the personal stories of our neighbors have been back-burnered. We all need to hear from each other to understand how those around us are thinking, acting and planning during this very personal, community threat. On March 16, Lowertown.info asked members of the community to answer several questions to get a ‘community temperature check’. Please note that several of the responses came before Gov. Walz announced the closures of all restaurants, bars, and cafes in Minnesota. This Lowertown Community Temperature Check features interviews with Chris Beckstrom, Desdamona, Holly Green, Julie Kelly, Tara Weatherly, and Tom Dunn.
