Every day I go to this site WAITING for them to close.
Tlaquepaque Stores and Galleries are closed until March 31, 2020 for the safety of our employees and visitors.
Restaurants continue PICK UP and DELIVERY SERVICES during the week. Check individual websites for menus. Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you for closing.
Tlaquepaque is in Coconino County and this article references Yavapai. We’re wondering if Coconino has the same or similar mandate for closing as Yavapai? Anyone know?
Pelosi is delaying aid to families by prioritizing an open borders agenda. Her coronavirus bill does the following:
– Limits ICE and Border Patrol
– Extends immigrant visas and work permits
– Blocks denying funds to sanctuary cities
It must be stopped! WE DON’T NEED MORE PEOPLE TO DIE OR USE THE LIMITED RESOURCES WE HAVE TO FIGHT THIS VIRUS. WE HAVE MILLIONS THAT CAN’T WORK AND NEED WORK AND THEY DON’T WANT TO FIGHT WITH ILLEGALS TO FEED THEIR TAXES AND MORTGAGES. Shut up Nancy. You’ve done nothing during this pandemic but cause more problems. You’re an obstructionist and it’s not right. Your fellow Democrats worked out a bipartisan agreement and you come back from a week’s vacation and tell them you’re the boss of it all? Go back on vacation.
