With COVID-19 hospitalizations surging in Dallas County and a new mask requirement in place (maybe), you might be conflicted or confused about going out this weekend. Bars and restaurants are facing new challenges themselves as they're once again being dragooned into taking part in the battle between local leaders who want a mask mandate and a governor who doesn't.
What is one to do? (Besides, say, getting vaccinated, we mean.) Well, Mother always said you can't go too far wrong with good manners and kindness, no matter how awkward the situation. A little consideration for servers and small-business owners who are muddling through like everyone else couldn't hurt either.
With that in mind, here are a few places you can show off your fashion-mask collection this weekend.
