Ed. Note: Last week we shared their letter stating that despite new Phase Two restrictions they had “made the decision to stay open.”

Thanks to all who passed on the latest letter from [solidcore]:

“To our valued DC [community],

While we are disappointed, we remain committed to advocating for our industry and demonstrating our ability to keep our [community] safe. (more…)
