Reminder: MLK holiday this coming Monday


The current partial federal government shutdown notwithstanding, Monday, January 21, will be a federal holiday in celebration of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That means all "non-essential" offices will be closed.

What else will be closed, whether they are "essential" to you or not? Here are a few examples:
• Banks, although ATMs and online services should be available
• U.S. Postal Service branches
• Local government offices
• Schools and colleges
• The New York Stock Exchange
What will be open?
• Hospital emergency departments
• Most shopping malls
• Most individual stores
