[Caption for photo: "On my calendar for March. March 15- Waterloo shuts down. The following week we cancelled the Mastersons in store, Ray Benson at GSD&M got cancelled and that's about it for events until who knows? Also on my calendar is SXSW March 13-22. We usually have a full schedule of outdoor music events showcasing the bands here during SXSW. The parking lot would have been closed the following week to accommodate the music Eventually the store opened only for curbside orders (via phone or website) and then for in store appointments only. The store finally opened for limited in store customers in time for Black Friday and has stayed open but the amount of customers has fluctuated as the virus count goes up. So many safety measures including plexiglass shields, hepa filters and staff ALWAYS wears a mask- in and around the store. The customers have their temperature taken at the door and must sanitize. Any customer who takes their mask off must leave."]

I took it to represent how fast companies were closing their doors and letting their employees go. Goodwill was one of the first companies in Austin (that was considered essential) to start laying off and furloughing their employees."
