The Canopy Club

The Canopy Club, located at 708 S. Goodwin Ave., also announced Friday it will be closed from Saturday until May 1.

“One of the hardest things about this experience is that it is rapidly evolving, and we are in a constantly reactive posture. It’s hard on everyone,” The Canopy Club wrote in a Facebook statement.” And just as virus germs can be contagious, so can fear. In this moment, we are taking a proactive stance to keep all of you and our patrons healthy, to reduce both germs and fear.”
