The news cycle is a 24-hour scare-a-thon about the current COVID-19 outbreak. We should be taking it seriously and following all possible precautions, but we must also remember that other parts of life are still moving forward. Like the re-building of three blocks of Oldtown sidewalks and the change of Main St traffic from one-way to two. Also, it looks like a new pedestrian bridge is going up by the Rodeo, and a new truck stop is being built by the airport. Lots to talk about, none of it doomsday related.
