The pandemic seems to have claimed another small, local business. The Shadyside bar Element appears to be officially closed for good.

Element, formerly Spin Bartini, closed in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic first forced businesses across the country to close and they never reopened at the various times over the year when restrictions were eased.
