The Davis Square Community

I've seen a few restaurants in my neighborhood (union sq) post that they're open today, but in all cases, the owner lives just above the restaurant or only a few short blocks away. I have really mixed feelings about that, because on one hand, the people who *have* to be out need meals etc, but on the other hand, I dislike even the perception of pressure on neighboring businesses to haul their employees in in such unsafe conditions.
