Queen Sheba, a well-known Ethiopian restaurant in Capitol Hill, has permanently closed after two decades of serving the community. The closure signals a troubling trend for local businesses amid rising crime rates in the area. Republican Senate candidate has publicly criticized the state's response to crime, using the recent Starbucks closure on E Olive Way as a backdrop for his comments. He emphasized that crime has escalated to the point where residents feel unsafe patronizing local shops. This situation highlights the urgent need for community support in addressing safety concerns.

Queen Sheba's closure reflects the broader challenges faced by neighborhood establishments during uncertain times. To combat these issues, community members are encouraged to support local journalism, which plays a crucial role in voicing neighborhood concerns. Subscriptions to CHS provide essential funding for reporting on local events and issues that affect residents.
