Be very careful about parking meters on Monday. *Please read the detailed note below. <\/p>\n

Stock market:<\/strong> Open, as are international markets. <\/p>\n

*Boston Parking:<\/strong> Here's what the city says<\/a>, you may have to read this a few times. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

"City of Boston parking meters are free on Sundays and legal holidays
\nand no time limit is enforced.  All other parking regulations,
\nincluding rush hour restrictions at meters, remain in effect.  It is important to note that this applies only to the day that the actual holiday falls on, not to the day that offices may be closed in celebration of the holiday.  For example, if New Year's Day is Saturday but offices are closed on Friday in recognition of the holiday, parking meters will be in operation on Friday but not on Saturday."<\/em> Remember this holiday falls on Sunday but the city offices are closed on Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Street Sweeping: <\/strong>City says, "Daytime street sweeping is suspended on city holidays<\/a>, but nighttime sweeping schedules remain in effect. Constituents are advised to call 617-635-4500 for exact details."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
