NEW HAVEN, Conn. It’s on these steps of Hamden City Hall where a number of protests were held over the summer. The same is happening in neighboring New Haven and every town across the state.

For Mark Bronsberg, another day of snow on Monday meant another day of bad business at his restaurant Mimmoâs Pizza on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre.

Business has been bad enough due to the exodus of downtown workers who are still working remotely because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said. The constant snow in February has made a bad situation worse, Bronsberg said.
âIt kills business. It changes the little business we have,â Bronsberg said. âThe curse of 2020 is continuing.
