Thanksgiving’s a holiday for local government workers, so no matter where you live in the Historic Triangle, don’t assume you’ll able to work out a rec center during the long weekend. Or haul trash to the dump. Or check out a library book.
In fact, before you bring your recycling to the curb or head to a local park, check this handy list.
By Monday, everything should be back to normal. At least until Christmas, that is.
