Bargain shoppers rejoice! Habitat For Humanity in Kent County has reopened its south restore location.
The building off Division Avenue in Wyoming began welcoming customers on Monday.
The Restore requires all shoppers to wear a face mask. They're also limiting the number of people allowed inside at one time, and enhancing their cleaning procedures, among other things.
The Restore is not accepting donations just yet, Habitat Kent is back to building homes though.
The nonprofit expects volunteers to return to construction sites later this summer.
Windmill Island Gardens is opening next Monday, June 15, but there will be some changes.
Instead of a tour of the windmill's interior, visitors will experience a filmed virtual tour.
The antique children's carousel will also be off-limits for the time being. With the limitations, admission is being temporarily reduced to $5, with visitors 8 and under admitted for free.
Also the park is instituting a thorough cleaning regimen and masks will be required to enter buildings, so visitors are asked to come prepared.

The library doesn't need those fines in order to make ends meet, they make up less than 1 percent of the library's budget.
Returns are being accepted now, and the curbside pickup program begins June 29.
