I have to go downtown and pay a ticket by the 28th. Hopefully that office is open sometime this week, but I'll bet it's closed today.

Many government buildings are closed 25th, 26th, and 27th but open on the 28th (thurs).

Hey, the T&T Asian Supermarket is open. The Coke is cheaper than Wal-Mart!!!

Wal-Mart is like $3.97 for a 12 pack, T&T is $2.99.

Tim Hortons near me was open. At least it's lights were on and a lineup of cars in the drive-thru (at 9:30pm)
