For weeks now, customers have been calling Mexicali Rosa's to ask when the restaurant's patio overlooking Dows Lake will be ready to welcome them back. 'I'm not quite ready to go back'Paula Whitelocke, owner of Curly Hair Designs, also doesn't plan to reopen Friday. As a Black business owner, the killing of George Floyd and the global wave of protest it sparked has also exacted an emotional toll, she said. The ByWard Market restaurant was fined on the weekend for allowing patrons to eat their takeout orders on its patio. He's now started re-hiring staff for what he hopes will be a steady flow of customers on the patio.
