For Vanessa Gregson, the four-lane highway that borders the beach along San Francisco's Pacific Ocean is now an automobile-free sanctuary where she can blissfully ride her bicycle and enjoy the quiet. “You feel like you’re in nature, and you’re in San Francisco.” Like cities from Paris to New York that shut roads to motorists when the coronavirus hit, environmentally friendly San Francisco closed miles of streets to automobiles so people could exercise and socialize safely.

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur reiterated his hope that he’d get to continue working with Aaron Rodgers this season while offering no news on the quarterback’s status.

Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle told CNBC on Thursday the coronavirus pandemic's acceleration of online shopping trends will not lead to the ultimate demise of physical retail. But the longtime apparel executive acknowledged the health crisis altered the company's outlook on how large e-commerce will be going forward. In its July quarterly earnings report, Columbia reported a 40% decline in overall net revenues due in part to pandemic-related store closures. "Brick-and-mortar retail for these kind of products is not going to go away," said Boyle, who has been CEO since 1988.

Longtime CEO Tim Boyle on Thursday told CNBC's Jim Cramer that the apparel company has been shifting sourcing away from China. "We've, over the last several years, been moving product out of China, not because we don't like China, but frankly because there's been better opportunities in other sourcing countries," he said in a "Mad Money" interview.
