Mayor Reed Gusciora signed the order Thursday, requiring businesses on East State Street between West Canal Street and South Broad Street to close from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. beginning Friday. The order follows a fatal shooting around 3:45 a.m. Sunday outside NJ Weedman's Joint, a dispensary and 24-hour restaurant across from City Hall.
