A Pre-holiday Outing Supporting Small Business in Downtown Baker City Oregon

 

Out doing a few pre-holiday errands and supporting local small businesses in historic downtown Baker City, Oregon during the summer of COVID.

 

Baker City, Oregon’s historic downtown is one of the largest and most intact turn of the 20th century downtowns in the Northwest and is surrounded by historic neighborhoods. The downtown has been beautifully restored and revitalized over the years and is a vibrant and bustling district with lots of small locally owned shop. Throughout the year, the downtown hosts a number of festive celebrations and special events.

 

The holidays look and feel a lot different this COVID Christmas season. Business was brisk with nearly everyone wearing masks while strolling the streets and visiting shops in small groups. Business owners have adapted well to the new normal and while working diligently to keep everyone's safety a top priority, are adjusting to the new normal for small businesses in a COVID era, and preparing for the holiday season

 

In addition to lots of charming small independently owned businesses, visitors to downtown will find numerous art galleries throughout Baker City’s historic downtown including the Crossroads Carnegie Art center in the restored Carnegie Library building as well as multiple restaurants and a variety of gourmet and artisan food and spirits. And while shopkeepers are masked up they are visibly happy to greet and wait on customers who are also willing to follow the current CDC guidelines
