The entertainment and food industries in Metro Detroit are taking big hits in this coronavirus craziness. Many places are shutting and others see big dips in business.
Detroit bartenders are looking for other sources of income, according to an article in Eater Detroit by Mickey Lyons:
Cori Duff lost both of her bartending gigs when the Detroit City FC Fieldhouse closed through March 22 and Hamtramck’s Moose Lodge suspended service on nights she works. She derives an equal part of her income from her handmade jewelry business.
And although she’s worried about the upcoming arts festival season, she expects an uptick in sales on her Etsy store, Script C Designs, as well. With Easter and Mother’s Day “on the horizon” and many big box stores closing, Duff is counting on homebound shoppers.
