Many restaurants have announced their closure for the Fourth of July holiday, but local grocery stores will be open.
Busch's Fresh Food Market will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., according to their weekly advertising flyer. Walmart's hours are listed as 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Several restaurants and pubs, including Brewed Awakenings, Stony Lake Brewing Company and Dan's Downtown Tavern, announced they were closed for the holiday.
While we certainly appreciate the convenience and service of those businesses who've decided to remain open, it's hard not to love the reasoning and spirit in Dan's announcement to close for the weekend:
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 47 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast in the afternoon, clear overnight.
