Its not even true, last weekend I went to a watercolor painting show featuring international artists. Been going out for dinner (not much of a drinker), the late night "downtown" area in my town is fully open. Tourists were back during summer. Activities are all back to normal. Concerts are going on, I went to one a couple weeks ago. There is one I really want to go to in the bay area too :( but no time.
Just clueless people on the internet that don't know what they're talking about. Probably because there is nothing else to do in texas besides be mad about things lol.
