Empty City

I went on a bike ride yesterday (Friday, April 10) between 2 and 3pm and took a pass through downtown and the Pearl, the densest parts of the city. It was a sunny, 70-degree day and would normally have been teeming with people who’d ducked out of work early (a famously Portlandian practice on sunny spring days).

I found a city even more deserted that I would have imagined. This is a deeply weird time.
