President's Day: What's Open, What's Closed

Feb. 18 is a national holiday, which means most government buildings and public schools are closed.

Monday, Feb. 18 is President's Day, a national holiday.

There will be no mail delivery on Monday. Federal and state offices will be closed, as will most banks.

Martinez City Hall will be closed, including police headquarters, though there will be no reduction of regular police services and patrol.

Public schools throughout the city will be closed on Monday.

Most stores will be open, as will many restaurants, and more than a few department stores will undoubtedly use the holiday as an excuse for a sale.

So, if you have the day off, relax and enjoy it. If you are not a fan of the sitting president, take some time and reflect on one you did like. If you don't like any of them, you can always take in one of the sales.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

As long as there are meters downtown, let's make it as easy as possible to pay. I hate having toRead More dig around for change to feed a meter. Using a card is much more convenient.

There should be NO parking meters.

George, I think the meters are there to keep jurors from tying up all the parking not for revenue.Read More Martinez needs a parking garage for jurors but it might be difficult to pass a bond for one. Thing is, the last time I got a jury summons for Martinez it said I could just put the summons notice on the dashboard and park at a meter without putting money in it and no ticket would be issued. Unfortunately the court house is probably both a boon and a bane for growth downtown.
