- Clawson: One City Under a Pandemic: These are historic times. One Detroit looks at how COVID-19 touches Clawson, a city of two square miles in Southeast Oakland County. To revive its once flourishing dining scene, business owners are recalibrating, and one local couple is taking the plunge—betting it all on a new venture as restaurants are still held at a 50% seating capacity. In the second of a series of reports, One Detroit’s Bill Kubota and Chris Jordan, past and current Clawson residents, see how the city is lending its support to keep things going during the pandemic.
