Last call downtown before the shutdown
On St Patrick’s Day in New Bern NC officials declared a local state of emergency as Gov Cooper ordered restaurants and bars to close at 5 pm. Downtown venues moved to takeout only while workers readied curbside service and workers were laid off. Patrons dwindled as owners prepared for a long downturn and a future return.
