We’re living with madness right now, and shops and restaurants are really feeling it. If you haven’t been out much, you may not have seen that stores have begun boarding over their windows. Sur La Table at Wilshire and Third is covered, and Williams Sonoma on Montana Ave. is also boarded. What they’re anticipating is anyone’s guess…

Same thing happened at the Westwood location of Sur La Table – what’s going on?
Looters. These stores have some items that would resell nicely on the internet.
Sephora on the promenade has plywood up as well. They at least painted it black so it is not quite so startling.
I saw plywood be put up on swanky shops in Milan on a YT video; suppose it’s for safety to prevent theft and/or graffiti on the glass. Considering we’re probably in it for the long haul, the plywood makes me think of the impending metaphoric hurricane on the us with respect to health/life/death and the economy. #FlattenTheCurve #StayInside
