What’s closed, open and not completely open this COVID-19 Memorial Day
Welcome to Memorial Day, Coronavirus Era.
In some ways, it’ll be just like Memorial Days past. The big exception will be nobody’s going to the beach (legally) and if Uncle Gus wants to work the grill for the cookout, he’s going to have to do it in somebody’s backyard. No big family get-togethers in the park this year.
