What's Open (and Closed) in Birmingham This New Year's

For some, it's just another day work. For others, it's a day to celebrate the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013.

Whatever you're doing this New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, if you're in town, you may need to know what's happening around Birmingham. Here's your guide to what's open and closed:

City offices

Birmingham City Hall, including the Clerk's Office, City Manager's Office and Finance Department, will be closed Monday and Tuesday. 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.
