Columbus Day: What's Open, What's Closed in Johnston

In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Who could forget the beginning of the 1492 poem

Remember that today, because it's Columbus Day.

Although, Columbus arrived in the Americas on Oct. 12, we celebrate on the second Monday of October.
