"With Election Day approaching, businesses on entire blocks adjacent to the popular pedestrian shopping promenade boarded up facades and windows to guard against possible unrest. The precautions reflect a regionwide pattern—from Pasadena to Downtown and the coast—driven by ongoing pandemic-related uncertainty, lingering caution after June’s police-brutality protests, and recent post-championship celebrations for the Dodgers and Lakers that resulted in vandalism to storefronts." - Mona Holmes
