Empty Tent At AJ O'Brady's

Empty Tent At AJ O'Brady's

Every St. Patrick's Day, AJ O'Brady's Irish Pub in Menomonee Falls has a big party, with a music tent set up in their parking lot. Taking a walk on the evening of St. Patrick's day, I passed this sight of the empty parking log and empty tent, which would have been full and loud. However, in the days leading up to this, the NBA had postponed the rest of the season, and many other events and activities were shutting down, and on March 16, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers banned gatherings of more than 50 people. Many thoughts passed through my mind: I wonder how much the restaurant is losing in revenue? I wonder how much they paid for that tent that is not being used? This place is a neighborhood anchor - I hope this health crisis does not close this and other businesses that make up the fabric of society.
