It’s a sign of the times.

People hunkered down in their homes waiting for the coronavirus pandemic to recede can’t help sending messages to the outside world. While many are dispatching to a broad audience via social media, others are taking a rather analog approach.

Messages of support and encouragement are popping up in windows of homes and businesses. We found an inspiring selection of them in Western Pennsylvania.
