WW’s Oct. 23, 2024, Story About Tusk Was Incorrect

Retraction: On Oct. 23, WW published a story that said Tusk, a restaurant at 2448 E Burnside St., had announced a closure, based on a sign taped to the restaurant’s front door. (The sign is shown in the image below.) That statement was not factually supported. In fact, Tusk opened as usual for dinner at 5 pm on Oct. 23. WW regrets the error.
