If months of staying at home during the coronavirus pandemic taught us anything, it’s that we need more space to live, work, exercise and relax at home.
Interior designers and remodelers are working with people who can’t wait any longer to spread out into underused areas of their home or add a sheltered extension, whether inside or out.
MT. ANGEL, Oregon (KPTV) Restaurants and coffee shops are getting some extra help during the cold winter months, with some donations from a local patio heater manufacturer.
Wood Pellet Products in Mt. Angel has donated to two businesses so far, Gear Up Espresso in Silverton and the MarKum Inn in Mt. Angel.
Sitting outside in January is not ideal.
But in the pandemic, restaurants are doing everything they can to heat up business.
“It’s tough,” MarKum Inn owner, Mark Burnett said. “I mean we’re glad to be here but yeah we’ve lost tons of revenue.”
Burnett says outdoor dining has allowed the restaurant to stay in business.
