Cheers!: But from over here

The Providence community has always prided itself on shopping small, and now — more than ever — is the time to do so. Hundreds of local restaurants, bars and venues have been critically affected by the measures we’ve been instructed to take due to COVID-19. Although the decision to close/suspend typical functions has been a hard one for many, it is the responsible decision to make, and I commend those who are following suit. Businesses everywhere are doing what they can to make ends meet, so let’s show our support how we can for those who still have the opportunity to serve their community responsibly. 

While showing your support, always remember never to go out if you are feeling ill, wash your hands and practice social distancing.
