ImPorts are on here saying they can't find places open today. Some of the locals want you to know that's not the case. Here's a list of locally-owned businesses that are open today and would love your money:

[He includes a list of various places open in each porter city, including at least one movie theater, one bookstore, one place to hang out, one bar, and five restaurants, though in most cases it's more.]

Research is your friend, kids.

I didn't say that
I could have just ignored them and not compiled them into a neat list for you
I'm just saying I didn't exactly go door-to-door here

Nothing. Don't celebrate Christmas

[sidecars]

Uh huh

Oh
That's a bit of a downer
Not even going to crash a party?
Good fooooood!

[heliophilic]

I have takeout in my apartment
All is merry and bright


That's how the song goes, right?

[sidecars]

You know what's merrier and brighter though?
Eating someone else's food

[heliophilic]

Not my style

sorry icons expired

[sidecars]

Whaaat?
How is that not everyone's style?
It's definitely MY style

We should fix this

oh noooo

[heliophilic]

What exactly are you proposing?

[sidecars]

You should definitely come out with Dick and me
We are going to make crappy snowmen in other people's lawns for spite
Go ice skating
Maybe crash a party with an open bar!

[performance]

No one said anything about spite or a bar!

[sidecars]

Well I'm definitely saying something about spite and a bar!
Live a little, Goodie Two-Shoes

[heliophilic]

Never thought I'd agree with this idiot, but live a little

But for the record three's a crowd

[sidecars]

What does THAT mean?
It's Christmas!
There's always room for one more!

[ Gee, M, you're acting like this is some kind of date between two twinky nerds or something. ]

[heliophilic]

Aren't you supposed to celebrate Christmas with people near and dear to you?

I didn't know you cared

Or did those annoying Christmas carols lie to me again?

[You two seem to be the only two that thing otherwise.]

[sidecars]

I like to be contrary :)
You don't have to
I'm not going to drag you out kicking and screaming if your lonely little apartment with old Chinese food is they way you want to go
I'm just saying
Hanging out with two awesome fellas is pretty swell too

[heliophilic]

You run this plan by Grayson first?

1/2

[sidecars]

Of course!

2/2

[sidecars]

But hang on anyway
I've got to go do
Something

3/3

[sidecars]

Dicky said the more old weirdos we take ice skating the better
See?
Told you he'd be on board!

[heliophilic]

You two have a messed up idea of fun

If you really want an "old weirdo" hanging out with you

[sidecars]

You know I'm an old weirdo, too
I am from the forties

[heliophilic]

I was beginning to wonder
Still, you're only what, 18?

[sidecars]

Only, huh?
I'm almost nineteen

[ He's an adult okay? NOTICE AND RESPECT THAT, M, SO HELP HIM! ]

[heliophilic]

Let me guess. 18 and 3/4ths.

[sidecars]

Yeah, basically

[heliophilic]

How adorable
