"I reported that Sam Sanchez, the owner of this bar, said looting vandalized his downtown business in June and that suburban customers no longer visit his downtown locations; with tourism dead he described an 80-percent drop in sales since the pandemic began and told Fox that crime poses a larger threat to business than COVID-19.
