Is Good Friday morphing into a secular holiday?
I noticed that Kennett Borough offered free parking for shoppers on Good Friday. A hair salon promised to make their customers "look good on Good Friday." And on Friday morning, Perkins in Avondale was packed; in fact, the cashier told my breakfast pals and me that they brought on extra wait staff because they knew everyone would have the day off and would probably want to enjoy breakfast out.
When I was a kid, I seem to remember Good Friday as being a somber day, with lunchtime church services for the observant, but only especially religious companies gave their employees the day off.
Not complaining, just observing.
