An atmospheric river approaches Santa Cruz, raising concerns about the recently reopened wharf, which had previously collapsed in December during a storm. Despite the cold, the wharf is bustling; businesses are regaining patrons. Local shop Marini's Candies emphasized the emotional connection many have with the wharf, while visitors show support for local services. The community's strong history and the recent challenges have drawn more patrons than usual, fostering a spirit of resilience and togetherness among locals and tourists. The wharf embodies a lasting legacy for the Santa Cruz community.
"We've had a lot more, I think, business during our slow season in comparison because of the fact that people are trying to help out the local businesses that are here and know that they've had a hard time."
"The community and all the people, yeah I mean, there's just a lot of history here."
