What's Open/Closed for Memorial Day

Summer is here...well, unofficially.

With Memorial Day Monday, you can catch some rays, work on a tan, have a barbecue and pay your respects to our fallen war heroes.

But if you want to mail a letter, cash a check or take out the trash in Nazareth, Upper and Lower Nazareth Townships and Plainfield and Bushkill Townships, you're going to have to wait a day until Tuesday.
