“Dear PoPville,
Given all the reports of bars, restaurants, and gyms requiring COVID vaccinations, has anyone heard of any hair salons, massage places, nail salons, or other personal care services requiring vaccination – whether that’s requiring it of their staff and/or requiring it of customers? Would like to know what places are safer for me to patronize.”

Please note that all I.M.P. venues – 9:30 Club, Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Anthem, and Lincoln Theatre – will soon require full vaccination against COVID-19 for entry at all events.

Then this morning, I got a notification saying I’d also been exposed on July 29 (15 days after exposure). (more…)
