A San Diego restaurant owner who invested all of her savings into her outdoor patio is refusing to abide by California Gov. Alondra Ruiz, the owner of a vegan restaurant in North Park, pleaded in an Instagram post for fellow business owners to take a stand with her. Her restaurant, The Village, had only been open for about two months before the coronavirus pummeled the industry. Initially, Ruiz said that she didn't have enough funds to create an outdoor patio setup until August, two months after the state had allowed outdoor dining to resume. On Monday, the state's regional order limiting restaurants to take out and delivery went into effect for San Diego County, but Ruiz's outdoor patio remained open.
