Texas businesses are starting to reopen after a monthlong shutdown because of the coronavirus. But it wasn’t long ago that neighborhood parks, theaters and shopping centers were eerily empty. If you missed such sights while you were social distancing at home, here’s your chance to check it out. Advocate staff photographer and photo editor Danny Fulgencio spent the last month taking pictures of the empty spaces that have defined our neighborhood during the coronavirus pandemic. In this photo essay, you’ll see unusual scenes, including Lowest Greenville devoid of people on a weekend, a vacant parking lot at the Hillside Village Shopping Center and the Tietze Park playground closed off with yellow “caution” tape.
