The Good
Meanwhile it's a good ol' Friday! Yeah. If you obey the Catholic religion: it's The Good Friday. When I was growing up: Los Angeles Shut Down at lunch --streets gridlocked --then town went Dead-eerie quiet. When I was in art school --San Francisco: ditto --every office emptied out --no trolley space or cab to be found --except Every body poured into bars 5 --10-deep, standing room only, which didn't seem too, uh religious, definitely Fun.
If your goal not booze but bread -bakery -- kosher: remember Passover is on, through Monday, Jewish delis closed this week-end. But everything else: business as usual Saturday, Sunday: giant/corporate chains way don't care --open, neighborhood shops closed.
Business doesn't shut down anymore, except for those 'obeying' the Money god on Wall Street. Good Friday: Stock market used to be open half day --this year: shut all day... guess they can afford it.
Los Angeles City Hall --can't --all government Open, except for some 'Council' clowns using their Usual photo-op Half "work" Friday: 'furlough' themselves. CORRECTION --I checked: gee wadda surprise all 15 took day off --no Council Session -Wendy Gruell: please Make Sure deduct their paychecks.
--While Truly over-worked under-paid staffs do Real work of constituents -of running the City. If you want to reach a
City thing: 311 operators work to 10 pm nightly, and week-ends
Ditto: LA County Info operators at 213-974-1234
Ditto: 211 --always 24-hours for urgent food -shelter info -many other references, and if you get put on hold: HOLD --they will answer
