Empty Parking Lots that Were Once Filled

Title (Dublin Core)

Empty Parking Lots that Were Once Filled

Description (Dublin Core)

These parking lots were empty for months during the COVID pandemic. Businesses were ordered to close unless it was deemed a "essential business." Those businesses included grocery stores, home improvement centers, real estate agents, pharmacies, ranching, farming, food production, health care, motels/hotels.
As a result, retail, restaurants, small businesses, salons, gyms, and so many others suffered incredible financial losses. Many will not recover.
