So Markert plans to open not one, but two new restaurants in the next couple of months - Fight Club, a few doors down from Beuchert's, in February and the upscale Newland around the corner in April.

Fatigued, frustrated and frazzled by five surges over two years, some parts of the U.S. population have decided to simply live with the coronavirus and move on.
