My goal with this video is to give viewers a sense of life in Claremont, all photographed on Wednesday, March 18. Now that more businesses of closed, restaurants like Walter’s remain open for takeout, just don’t expect a sit down meal. Hendrick’s Pharmacy remains open and continues to deliver. Walk the streets and there is some activity. Just don’t expect it to look like the Claremont Village you know. All city gathering places are closed, including any city council and planning commission meetings. As Claremont almost grinds to a halt, it’s good to see so many residents taking social distancing seriously…even outdoors at parks around the city. Be aware the COURIER is publishing a print edition every Friday, with more local information. Please be careful out there.  —PW
