FROMJAKE: What strange times. I grew up watching movies and playing video games about the apocalypse. Almost all of these forms of entertainment media about the end of days would start with a montage showing how the world fell apart, and often, some new virus or disease would be to blame.

As I’ve hunkered down in my apartment these past several weeks, it’s been hard to not draw comparisons to such stories and the state of the world today. Of course, the world is not ending, and things will one day return to normal, and it’s that truth that keeps me feeling optimistic about the future. In the meantime, I’ve enjoyed my time working from home, and yes, we are still working. If you haven’t noticed, Community Impact Newspaper has tripled, maybe even quadrupled, its online e orts since the outbreak began. We operate almost like a daily newspaper nowadays, publishing several new stories a day to keep you informed about what’s happening at the state, regional and local levels. I hope you check out communityimpact.com and subscribe to our now-daily newsletter at communityimpact. com/corporate-newsletter to stay up to date on what you need to know. Despite myself and everyone at Community Impact Newspaper doing our best to stay positive in these unprecedented times, know that we do miss you. I miss talking to residents at city council meetings. I miss stopping by city hall or local businesses for in-person interviews. I miss driving around the Bay Area and seeing the water, the Kemah Boardwalk, Space Center Houston and the other attractions that make the area special. But one day, those activities will be possible again. Businesses will reopen, residents will return to work, and we’ll be there, reporting it all. See you soon.
