George Metsos had to furlough 30 of 37 of his employees due to the pandemic.
Like many businesses, Metsos restaurant, Patys which is located in the Toluca Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles took a hit when indoor operations were forced to close.
But on Monday, for the first time in months, he was able to welcome all of his employees back along with a slew of customers for indoor dining, as LA County eased some of its restrictions. It s really a strange feeling for us because we haven t had anyone in the building since Thanksgiving, Metsos told CNN. We ve been waiting for this day to reopen for the longest time . Personally, I haven t been able to sleep the last two nights thinking about today because I m so happy for my staff.

CONWAY â Retired middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who died last Saturday at his Bartlett home at age 66, was remembered as one of the valleyâs own after the famous boxer first started coming here in the early 1980s, then bought a home in Bartlett in 1985.
âAs far as Iâm concerned, he was the valleyâs celebrity,â is how Terry OâBrien, co-owner of the Red Parka Steakhouse and Pub in Glen, summed up Hagler.
Bartlett Police Chief Christopher Keaton said police logs show that Hagler was transported by Bartlett-Jackson Ambulance Services from his home near Attitash to North Conwayâs Memorial Hospital on Friday evening.
