Downtown Portland businesses, derailed by pandemic, say protests present a new challenge – oregonlive.com
I think all restaurants are really hurting and struggling, but I m not sure if the city and state officials realize that to be a restaurant and to be in downtown Portland right now is a double blow, Milne said. Not only are we suffering from the pandemic, but we have an area of the state that everyone is avoiding eating and drinking.
Restaurants and retailers throughout Oregon have struggled to stay afloat amid the coronavirus pandemic. Some businesses have already closed permanently. Others say their futures are uncertain.
