Check out these eerie photos of empty U.S. cities

The coronavirus has officially taken over American life, making even our biggest cities look like ghost towns. Check out the photos below for a peek at American cities during this pandemic, including photos of deserted subway cars, famous monuments and amusement parks with a conspicuous lack of crowds, typically bustling streets that are now empty and much more. For our part, Time Out has taken the pandemic seriously by shuttering all of our Time Out Markets in the States—from Miami and New York to Chicago and Boston. Please do your part by staying safe and, if possible, indoors.

I like rivers in general. I like to stay by the river, be near a river, listen to the river, walk alongside the river... So this was very nice to see a thriving culture along and around the river 😊 #Chicago . . . . . . . . . . . #chicagophotographer #chicagogram #chicagobulls #travel #travelphotography #skyline #skyscraper #downtown #downtownchicago #downtownlife #chicagodowntown #river #walkalongtheriver #riverbank #illinois #ghosttown #coronavirusnews #coronavirus #coronaviruschicago #coronavirususa #coronavirusamerica #socialdistance #selflove #morningmotivation

moving fast to get the F outta here while the getting is still good. Austin’s now on lockdown, all bars and Venus closed last night. We saw the last song of the last live show at the White Horse for the foreseeable future. My flight got cancelled and looks like the airline is going bust. No one knows what’s coming next. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I make this next flight home and hoping we have enough resources, health care and scientists to see us through this 🤯✌🏽❤️
