Some businesses in Downtown Pittsburgh, including banks and convenience stores, began boarding up their windows and doors Tuesday night as the country awaited the results of the 2020 election.
Apparently taking precautionary measures in the event of civil unrest, people were hanging plywood sheets over the glass at several businesses along Smithfield Street.
Representatives at the businesses said they still plan to open Wednesday.
They also said they would likely continue to board up the buildings as uncertainty surrounding election results lingered.
