COVID-19 one year later: ‘This is our life now’ Julie Mack, mlive.com © Nicole Hester/Nicole Hester/Mlive.com/mlive.com/TNS Toya Aaron stands in the front room of her home for a portrait on Monday March 8, 2020 in Madison Heights.
On a recent Friday, Toya Aaron was in the midst of her new weekend ritual: setting up for movie night in the finished basement of her Madison Heights home.
Before the pandemic, going to the local AMC theater was a favorite outing for Aaron and her 12-year-old son, Jordan. The potential health risk makes that problematic now, so she’s turned her basement into a home cinema, complete with a new 65-inch television and snacks that mimic a concession stand. On this night, the latter included big boxes of candy, a popcorn bucket, a cherry Icee for Jordan.
