The scene is much livelier these days at local eateries, as COVID restrictions are dialed back and just as importantly, more vaccine shots go into arms. After a slipshod start and some confusion as to how to preregister via the Virginia Department of Health, by the time many in these parts had their shots completed by April, the process seemed to be a well-oiled machine for the most part at the local mass clinics. In this issue we check in on the state of the restaurant industry locally, including the cover story on a very familiar local restaurant group. Two new bi-monthly columns debut – one is focused on the topic of “Innovation” and all that entails in the region. “Market Update” crunches the numbers and focuses on different aspects of local Real Estate issues. We also welcome a very well-known name in these parts, Doug Doughty, to the fold as a contributing writer, with a story on the return of baseball in Salem and Pulaski – under some different circumstances.
