What's Open, Closed in Belmont on New Year's Day

Not surprisingly, most retail stores are open somewhat regular hours on the first day of '14.

Remember when a holiday was just that, when everyone took the day of to celebrate? It appears that way of thinking has gone the way of newspapers and turtle necks as utterly old fashion.

With Thanksgiving becoming essentially a half-day holiday for most larger retailers and chains, it shouldn't shock you that many stores are open, albeit a bit later in the morning for some.

• Town, state and federal offices will be closed today as are both post offices in Belmont.
