There were very few people out for happy hour Monday night, the day before the Irish Holiday celebrations could take place. What if they threw a party and nobody came? This is the result.

Harris County and the City of Houston have shut down area bars and restaurants effective 8:00 am Tuesday, March 17, 2020 in order to limit exposure to the Coronavirus utilizing social distancing and encouraging self quarantine. No more than 10 people will be allowed to gather in one place for the next four weeks. Restaurants can still offer take-out, drive-thru or food delivery service orders.

Stay safe. Wash your hands and keep in touch with your loved ones. Go outside and get some fresh air.

I will be documenting this new way of life as it unfolds, from a distance, with my telephoto lens.
