A7 THE ASTORIAN • SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 2020 SPECIALS FOR Market Photos by Nicole Bales/The Astorian Jimmy Griffi n is the owner of Seaside Brewing Co. Seaside: Community coming together Continued from Page A1 Kyleigh Hoffman, who works at Molly Morgan, a jewelry store, fears what more government restric- tions would do to businesses . “We’re just going to wait — just sit and wait,” she said. “That’s kind of what everyone’s doing is just wait- ing for the other shoe to drop ... There’s so many rumors circulating, but nobody really, truly knows what’s happening.” Hoffman said the local layoffs have made the pan- demic feel more real. How- ever, she said it has been comforting to see the com- munity come together despite the stress and uncertainty. Hoffman said the city has been quiet the whole week, but was happy to see more tourists trickle in as the weekend neared . Michele Bundy, of Port- land, said she was surprised to see as many businesses open . She took a daytrip with her husband and two chil- dren to have a picnic on the beach. “We call it our happy place,” Bundy said. “If we can’t do anything else, we can still go to the beach.” Suz Figini, of Oregon City, also drove to the coast for a daytrip with her daugh- ters and two grandchildren. Children play with bubbles on the Promenade in Seaside. She said her daughter was home for s pring b reak, so they decided to spend an afternoon at the beach. “Who would think that would be a show stopper,” Figini said, watching her grandchildren play with giant bubbles being blown onto the Promenade. “I think we’re all getting back to simple things,” she said. She remembers visiting her aunt and uncle in Sea- side growing up, and what it looked like to her as a child. Figini said the daytrip allowed her to relax and escape the reality of the pan- demic for a few hours while they wandered the beach and shopped at Ter Har’s. She said she wanted to make sure her daughters got to see the Astoria Column before head- ing back home. Griffi n remembered how the North Coast pulled together during the Great Coastal Gale of 2007 when it really counted. “But this is kind of a dif- ferent thing,” he said. “We’re not helping each other out and clearing debris out of the roads — we have to stay away from each other this time. So how do you band together when you can’t be together? What’s that going to look like? “I think people are going to have to be thoughtful and compassionate. And I think they’re going to have to get on the same page about what this truly is and how we get through it.” LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED WHERE THE MEAT LOVER’S SHOP We would like to thank all of our customers for their patience and understanding during this highly emotional and stressful time.
