Indoor dining rooms have closed again after Riverside County returned to the purple tier, while San Bernardino County remained at that most restricted level.

And Hemet’s Hometown Buffet has closed permanently because of the coronavirus pandemic.

But there is happy news in the Inland Empire as well. Farmer Boys is going forward with a long-delayed celebration of its 100th store. And a Claremont brewery received a coveted national honor.
