Our space was full today, and so was my heart. There was laughter and silliness. There was chatter and goofiness. There were parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins and friends. I welcome this with open arms and keep my arms open to welcome more of these times.

As the much anticipated and celebrated reopening of California started today (!), we look forward to continuing to welcome you to the downtown district. However, many businesses will be requesting that customers and staff continue to wear a mask while doing business in their shops, offices and restaurants. Please remain patient, kind and understanding as our businesses slowly and cautiously open their doors with this consideration to their staff and other customers.

Remember, we are in still in this together. Thank you for your long-standing commitment and support of our business community. It is the reason they are able to move into this new recovery phase and remain Open With Care. #downtownalameda
