Are banks open? Will your garbage get picked up? What’s open, closed on Presidents’ Day
Yes, Monday is Presidents’ Day. Maybe you forgot about it until your child mentioned there’s no school. And now you are texting co-workers to see if you have to be on the job.
If you’re not certain of your work status on the holiday, Publix, Walmart, Walgreens, Navarro and the big South Florida malls are certain of their status: Open, like they want your wallet to be.
Now, about those public services linked to local, state and national government:
