The Paramount Theater has closed but many restaurants remain open for curbside pick-up.
Shut downs and stay-in-place orders, the most recent of which came from Gov. Ralph Northam Monday, have left Charlottesville dormant. Students have been sent home, many businesses have shut their doors and events have been canceled. In this photo essay, photographer Andrew Shurtleff has spent time capturing the effects of the pandemic and comparing the duality of the present with our social past.
