Other than movie theaters , horse track and a country style donuts.

I just got back from the bar, first time they were open on a christmas day night and they did fairly well judging from the crowd.

I assume that the movie theater and the gas station(yes, **the** as in singular) were both open, but not any of the dozen or so other businesses in town. I’ve mentioned I live in a really small town before, right? We don’t have fast food places, drug stores, or any stores bigger than the hardware store, anyway.

> Akron, OH. All Chinese is open. Fortunately, as our extended family traditional dinner got cancelled at the last minute because of an unexpected birth.

Congratulations!

My nephew’s wife apparently did not deliver on Christmas, but it was a definite possibility. Now, we’ll see if he gets to take the deduction this year or not!
