Business: What's Open, What's Not After Hurricane Sandy

While driving around Edgewater and Davidsonville, probably one of the most shocking sites was the completely boarded up Kmart off of Mitchells Chance Road.

At first glance, it looks like the all-purpose mart is closed for good. But after taking a closer look, I learned managers there decided to put up the boards in case Hurricane Sandy got really out of hand.

However, the store itself is open for residents hoping to escape their homes now that the storm has passed.

Most of the Edgewater/Davidsonville area businesses and shopping centers had electricity, but not all local shops were open in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Here’s a brief rundown of key businesses that are open along with another list of those that aren’t.
