Before the global coronavirus pandemic, Pittsburg was enjoying a renaissance in the downtown district. New shops and restaurants were popping up, driving more and more traffic to the heart of the community. But once the stay-at-home orders began, everything changed. Shops had to close their physical locations, leaving many to rely on online sales and change how they market to their customers. 

On this episode of Around the Block, Shawn and Brett talk to owners of three downtown retail businesses about how they've adjusted their business methods during this unique time. They also discuss how they plan to move forward as restrictions begin to loosen. 

Guests: 
Sydney Anselmi, Audacious Boutique
Brittan Brenner, Sonder and Co.
Davey Froman, Miners + Monroe
