Along the Pier Where the Boats Are Docked

Redondo Beach, California

As you can see, long before it was closed, I pretty much had the place to myself.
I would stop into Kona Coffee to get a coffee to go. Never anyone in there either. I hope the owners will be able to survive and reopen. They are a lovely couple.

Very nice Pier shot love those tall palm trees at the end.
Nice place to relax even in these bad times.
Nice perspective and detail.

Bright, vibrant, beautiful and deserted. The one sign of activity is the coffee sign. A well selected angle of capture to convey isolation and emptiness. A sign of our times currently. VV

Very lovely place. Being in uncharted waters is going to drive us all to a loony bin.

It looks so cheerful and sunny. Small businesses don't have an easy time of it at the best of times, but hopefully things will turn around before too long.

Nice perspective with the boats and shops. Hope these businesses can survive. It does not look good. "V"

Whether their favorites spots will survive is everyone's mind right now.

It feels lonely!

Like a ghost town, so sad that it's had to come to this. I hope the coffee people can get back in business when this is all over. V.

It is shocking to see how deserted it is. I hope the business can hang on.

It's going to be tough but there are so many things that they can do through SBA, and so much more. The state and federal has life lines out from to many places to list here but it's a paper chase and hoop jumping. It is helping to keep employees and help them through this too! If they or their advisers are on top of it and I mean really on top of it... and get after it - they have a fighting chance.

I guess many small businesses won´t resist this closure if it last for a long time.
