The coronavirus has transitioned the way our society does just about everything. Many businesses, especially local ones, are being hit with hardships. This is why, if possible, it is important for communities to support local businesses.

Here are a few local businesses that have their door open for you to get takeout or groceries.

Vic's Ice Cream

Vic's Ice Cream is a Sacramento staple, located in Land Park. The old school ice cream parlor has been around since 1947. It is a business that children hang out at after school, families gather to get ice cream for the holidays or you walk to on a hot summer day.

The business is open during the pandemic, and here is the statement Vic's put out on their Facebook page: "Currently open every Saturday. We will be OPEN tomorrow from 10:30-2:00. Still only serving ice cream to-go. Avoid the line and come early. We hope to see you tomorrow."

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters is a place that feels like home. You can get your coffee and go or enjoy the modern-looking shop with a chocolate fish bar.

This shop is open for pickup during the pandemic.

Jacks Urban Eats is one of Sacramento's most prized cafeteria-styled restaurants. The Sacramento chain has been open since 1998 and has since opened 11 locations. The chain is known for its Urban Fries, salads, sandwiches and sides!

The business is available for takeout during COVID-19 and could use your help!

Uncle Vito's Slice of NY

Uncle Vito's Slice of NY has four Northern California locations and is looking to bring NY-styled pizza to your doorstep. The pizzeria is known for its huge slices of pizza and friendly service. Pizza is comfort food, which means it is easily one of the best takeout options you can have during quarantine.

Nugget Markets

Last, but not least, Nugget Markets is a great way to shop local during quarantine. The business has even handed out masks when customers enter the store, in an effort to minimize the spread of the virus and ensure a safe visit for their customers.

For those who are unfamiliar with the store, think of a local Whole Foods Market. It has a smoothie stop, fresh food and many new items to try!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

75 degrees and sunny, plus, no humidity. I mean do I really need to say more?

Perfect Weather

You'll get an effortless tan

You can exercise with a view

You don't have to worry about bug bites

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
