JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Event planners, music entertainers and sports venues are all on pins and needles, taking it day-by-day when it comes to re-opening under coronavirus restrictions.
With many restrictions in place for social distancing and safety, amid the coronavirus crisis businesses that cater to lard crowds feel a little lost in the shuffle.
Nightclubs and bars are not expected to re-open until “Phase 2” leaving many owners frustrated. But, those who profit mostly off the big crowds at these nightclubs, like DJs, might be left out even longer.
