Throughout the whole pandemic different states and cities had regulations for their counties with mask mandating, and civilian capacity inside of buildings. Pennsylvania Bar owner Rod Ambrogi doesn’t agree with the capacity limit on indoor restaurants, or the rule of having to stop serving drinks at an earlier time, 10pm. He believed that it was stupid until now to even put on a mask which had them not following the rule with masks in the building. With the precautions to stay safe restaurants and bars were losing money left and right, so the fact of the matter that they could only hav 2-0,.. or maybe even 50% capacity was frustrating for owners who needed to make money now. Majority of owners; especially in Philadelphia were just happy to be open for the pandemic which they did follow guidelines which followed more people to attend their establishments instead of theirs. I do not believe this kind of article is news worthy enough to be important on the Washington post, because every state had their problems with following the rules and dealing with the closing of public places. Yet the lead was well put together and the title is what caught my attention with restaurant rebellion I was interested to see what happened.

You’re correct that restaurants everywhere are having problems. But the Washington Post is a “hometown” paper of sorts. People in DC want to know what’s happening in their town, specifically.
The term is localizing. All media, TV, radio, print, depend on local readers and viewers, so they will take national stories and report on how they apply locally.
