Virus prompts businesses to establish online presence - Washington Times
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Nikki Kettelkamp had plans to launch a website for her store, SCOUT of Marion, by the end of the year. But when Iowa expanded an emergency health order closing most retail stores during the growing coronavirus pandemic, she wanted a way now to continue to serve her customers.
"I'm a bit late to the online game just because I really wanted to focus on providing a great in-store experience," said Kettelkamp, whose store offers personal care and home items. "We've had so many people, even before COVID-19, wanting us to sell online. This sped up that whole process."
A Recreational Cannabis Shop in I.V.? It's Closer Than You Think | The Daily Nexus
In Isla Vista, liquor stores and bars outnumber grocery stores, and the abundance of cannabis — in quantity, popularity and odor — is nothing out of the ordinary.
But after 80% of Isla Vistans voted in 2016 to approve Proposition 64, which legalized the use of recreational cannabis in California, nothing happened. As recreational dispensaries sprouted from one town to the next, I.V. stood from the sidelines and watched it unfold.
Now, it's I.V.'s turn. Come 2021, community members could be within walking distance of a recreational dispensary they can call their own.

His friends were his colleagues, who he loved to connect and gather, whether for a gallery talk or for a round of beers. "I am sorry for those who didn’t experience his amazing [1998] Archigram show at the Thread Waxing Space [in New York], just one of many mega projects in his determination to share his boundless enthusiasms with us," said Barry Bergdoll, Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History at Columbia University.
