the only stores I can think of off the top of my head is, a few restaurants, convenience stores, and Wal-mart. I Live in austin tho, bigger cities may by different.

Depends on where you are. Ex: I am from and live in Vegas. Because Vegas is a 24 hour town, most of the Walmart and grocery stores stay open 24/7...unless youre in a high crime area, them they close.
I've been stationed other places in the states and Walmarts and grocery stores close at 1 or 2. Especially in the bible belt. Def. depends on the city and crime.

One part deleted, so Stark and his neo-nazis don't have material to work with.

I was surprised to see (on Wiki) that Austin is 4th biggest city of Texas and has "only" population 820.000 :o

The Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh near my place was open 24 hrs. At least, I think so. I went there hella late after work a lot, and it was always open.

HTEXAN do you confirm?

In this part of TN most mom and pop stores are from 8 til 5, some are close Wednesdays most all are closed Sundays. We don`t shoot at people just because they are black, we have some fine upstanding black folks around here. We shoot at people because they act like assholes no matter what shade of color they are.

I was just jocking with stereotypes (like the greasy/lazy bum italian ones), no offence.
btw interesting post: it seems that apart from big commercial chains, opening/closing of store is more or less the same as here.

I live in NYC. Most places in manhattan are not 24 hours, but they are open to 3-4am. Most major chain supermarkets are 24 hours. Smaller stores are open till about 9-10pm at night.

I'm surprised, I was thinking everything in NYC was 24 hours.
Here smallest stores close at 19 or so.
No chain supermarkets 24 hrs.

None taken. I thought in Italy everybody loads up on carbohydrates at 1 PM and then takes a little nap and re-opens their stores at 3 PM.

No. Youre thinking of NYC and ONLY thinking of Manhattan. Remember there is Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island. most stores (drug stores, delis) close anywhere from 6-10pm. Restaurants, bars, clubs (depending on which one) can stay open to as late as 4am.

Most of the stores here in NYC need a few hours starting at 3-4am so they can restock and clean up. The delivery trucks come at this time so they dont clog up the streets in the day, and they have to park on the streets in front of the stores. Its not like we have giant wal marts with a warehouse for a stock room in the back with loading docks.

lol If you go down to around 6th tho, all the stores are open to at least last call.

This might be a stupid question for most of you but I would like to know: are usual stores (not places like Walmart and similar) open 24hrs in Us or you have european like times of opening/closing?
It depends...if you mean food stores, there are many open 24 hours. I know several named Krogers that are 24 hour...I know one named Randalls open 24 hours...
for drugstores...Walgreens has several 24 hours...some with the pharmacy part open 24 hours so you can get prescriptions filled at any hour...another is called CVS.
Food stores even when closed always has workers in them doing things so it was determined that it didn’t cost much to have big food and drugstores open for business at night.
This is for Houston, which while has nightlife...it is not a 24 hour town.
I am told that NYC has shopping districts that while not 24 hour, the hours are skewed so as to cater to night workers.

I live in a medium sized city, we've got several grocery stores in my area that are open 24/7, McDonalds, Rite-Aid, One Gym (24 H Fitness). Some gas stations leave their pumps on so you can get gas anytime with a credit/debt card.

The states that comprised the "Confederacy" during the Civil War of 1860.

Alfred Bloomingdale, owner of Bloomingdale's of New York (an upscale department store that used to be independently owned) dabbled in producing Broadway stage shows...George S. Kaufman, the writer who wrote a lot of what Groucho Marx said, critiqued a Bloomingdale produced show, "Close the show, but keep the store open nights."

I don't mean to go on and on, but do you google all this shit or do you actually know a little bit about everything?
It's mind boggling. I could ask you how to replaced the clutch-dog in a 1985 OMC lower unit and you'd probably know everything involved!!
;D ;D

I'm hyperlexic...for real.

I also am a fan of film, literature, pop culture of the period from just after WWI to the Early 1950's.

You left out Georgia, and some would include western (rural) Maryland, but otherwise you nailed it.
Of course, even within this area there are liberal strongholds (college towns and sections of larger cities for the most part).

What about utah ?

Utah is certainly what many refer to as a "red state" but the Bible Belt is typically identified with "mainline Protestant" churches and of course Utah is usually identified with Mormonism.
