DC area restaurant and hospitality industry begins to bounce back but struggles with hiring help
By Ayesha Khan
The restaurant industry in DC is trying to match demand as nice weather settles in.
BETHESDA, Md. - With spring finally in the air and the increased distribution of COVID-19vaccines, restaurants and bars in the D.C. region are happy to see their businesses bounce back again, especially when many of them were closed this time last year. It’s getting tough to find staff, said Alan Pohoryles, owner of Tommy Joe’s in Bethesda. I don’t know if people are just scared to come back or if they are still on unemployment and don’t want to get off their couch. If we start increasing business and don’t have the staff to service it, it’s going to be trouble because everyone has an opinion and if you get one bad review and they tell a friend you’ll loose customers.

William âBillâ Jones was more than a beloved school bus driver for the Killeen Independent School District. Jones, originally from Birmingham, Alabama, served two tours in Vietnam for the U.S. Navy. He drove trucks commercially for decades before joining KISD as a bus driver. And, he had a family.
Jones, 75, was found dead at Cedar Gap Park in Harker Heights last fall from a gunshot wound to the chest less than 24 hours after he was fired from KISD following an accident involving a child and a Ford F-150 on the first day of in-person school, Aug. 31.
Jones was driving the school bus that day, when police said he failed to activate the flashing warning lights and equipment during a bus stop. When a child got off the bus, and then crossed the street, he was hit by the passing pickup, causing serious injury to the student.
