Alfred Bloomingdale, owner of Bloomingdale's of New York (an upscale department store that used to be an 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 also am a fan of film, literature, pop culture of the period from just after WWI to the Early 1950's.

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.
 

that's the way we like to think about Us here: big, limitless, everything possible (I know it's just a dream you also have lots of troubles)

Most of the South where people are very conservative and religious.

Ex: Mississippi, Lousiana, Texas, Kentucky, Tennenesse, Oklahoma, Northern Florida, Virginia, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, West Virginia, Alabama, Missouri

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).

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.
