The unofficial-official first day of summer kicks off on Memorial Day, a holiday that celebrates and remembers the country's fallen military service members.
Most federal, state and local government offices will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day. Many businesses are also closed, with the exception of most large retail stores, restaurants, bars and grocery stores. But to be safe: Call ahead and check to see if your favorite haunt is open or if they close early.
Public transportation
In the Twin Cities, Metro Transit buses and the light rail Green and Blue lines will follow Sunday/holiday schedules. The Red Line will follow the weekend/holiday schedule. The Transit Information Center will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; customer relations and the lost and found will be closed.
