What's Open and Closed in Birmingham This Christmas
Grocery stores are closed but you can still see a movie this Christmas in Birmingham.
It's happened to all of us: It's Christmas Eve but you've forgotten to buy milk. Or, you find that parking ticket you thought you lost. Or, maybe you just want to avoid the family and see a movie.
Never fear! We've got your guide to what's open and when in Birmingham:
City offices
Birmingham City Hall, including the Clerk's Office, City Manager's Office and Finance Department, will be closed Monday and Tuesday. In addition, Tuesday's Traffic & Safety Board meeting has been cancelled. Offices will reopen at 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Post Office on Bowers Street will be closed on Tuesday, nor will there be any mail delivery or pickup. The post office will reopen with normal business hours, 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. on Wednesday.
Have an emergency? Don't hesitate to call 911 for police or fire emergencies. For any non-emergency, call the Police Department at 248-530-1889 or the Fire Department at 248-530-1900.
Since the holiday falls on a week day this year, however, trash pick-up will be one-day late this week.
Grocery stores
Worried what would happen if you burn the ham or forget the milk? Birmingham's three major grocery stores — Kroger, Papa Joe's Gourmet Market and Market Square — will be open on Christmas Eve. Kroger and Papa Joe's will be open until 5 p.m. while Market Square will be open until 7 p.m.
All three stores, however, will be closed on Christmas.
