Don't let that stop you.

Cops are always lenient on the fourth.

Is 4th of july a national holyday in the sense that people don't have to go to school or work? I talked with some guys from Ohio over the phone yesterday, and they seemed to be working.

BTW, I might be working in either Toledo Ohio, Chicago Illinois, or Dallas Texas in a few months...

It is a national holiday and nobody is supposed to be working. But I'm sure that changes depending on the place of business and a person's job title.

Government agencies and banks are closed for sure, but there were plenty of normal businesses open, running 4th of July sales.

We had to go get some cold soda from the store...we stopped at a CVS, Walgreens and Tops.

Sorry, I just think in terms of schools for whatever reason. Schools, banks, and gov't agencies are closed. Other corporate type businesses tend to close as well. However, retail stores were open, for the most part, as that was a prime day for sales. Especially if you sell anything that could be used at a BBQ or party.

Tops? Haven't heard of one of those in years! Dang. Brings back memories.

Really? Interesting.

In our area, we had 2 main grocery store chains, Regos and Finast. In, maybe 1998, Giant Eagle bought out Regos and shortly after, Tops took control of all the Finast. That was the first I'd heard of either place.

By when I lived in WI, we had Copps, County Market, Cub Foods and a handful of Kohl's grocery markets.
(I used to love the Kohls and County Market...they had those extra tall carts and I loved to ride on the bottom area of them.)
