A hopeful message can be seen on the marquee at the Paramount Theatre on Congress Avenue in Austin on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. Austin Mayor Steve Adler shuttered bars and restaurants in the state’s capital — effective as of noon Tuesday. The shutdown also includes entertainment venues like the Paramount. The shutdown aims to halt the spread of the new coronavirus. It is the latest blow to the city's economy, which is till feeling the aftershocks of canceling South by Southwest. The move also limits gatherings of more than 10 people. Photo by @brontewittpenn. #covid19 #coronavirus #austin #atx #texas #paramounttheatre
