Very nice weather for beach going.

I live by two car rental agencies with the corporate one being able to stay afloat while the mom and pop went out of business early on during coronavirus. The corporate one doesn't have hundreds of cars zipping in and out as well as busloads of tourists coming in to get their cars every 15 minutes anymore, but I've steadily watched business pick up there. While still not even close to 50%, it's not at 10% and dead anymore with them closing far before normal business hours.
