Note we are still under a Air Quality Advisory as well as our CLC Advisory for most grocery and liquor stores. Please remember to keep your hands in your own damn cart. We’ve seen people suffer injuries over a bag of chips during times like these.

All kidding aside, please remember all our fearless who gave it all for our sakes this day. Many of which are memorialized on granat walls and plaques all around this great country.
