"Rimsky-Korsakoffee House, a Portland institution beloved for its timelessly quirky decor, delicious desserts and coffee drinks, and live music, has hit its goal for the fundraiser that was started just last week. Concerned for the venerable establishment’s future during the pandemic, customers and workers alike took to GoFundMe to raise $20,000, hitting the goal in just shy of a week. Rather than secure additional funds, the restaurant froze the fundraiser, asking people to spend their assets around town at the places that needed it. Rimsky will be using the money raised to transition from cash-only to accepting online orders, as well as to pay necessary bills and recoup losses." - Alex Frane
