Castro District Businesses Struggle For Survival
Coronavirus has left many businesses boarded-up in San Francisco's Castro District.
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Some businesses in San Francisco’s Castro District might not be able to hold on long enough through the coronavirus pandemic to get back to full operation.
On Castro Street, the Pride flags are still flying, but instead of being flanked by throngs of people, the flags are decorating boarded-up storefronts. The neighborhood hasn’t been this quiet since the height of the AIDS epidemic. There’s concern about the soul of the neighborhood – the small businesses – getting stripped away.
