Residents in the Historic Triangle had quite the year.
The coronavirus pandemic affected everything from daily tasks like shopping at grocery stores and helping kids with their school work to celebrations like graduations and weddings.
Essential workers worked overtime. Thousands of people lost their jobs and others worked from home. We visited loved ones on Zoom and learned new phrases like “social distancing,” “face masks” and “the new normal.” There were protests against police brutality and rallies for presidential candidates too.
Here are the events that shaped 2020.
