GEORGETOWN– El Centro D.F., Richard Sandoval Hospitality's Georgetown cantina since 2013, will close for good on Sunday, June 29.

'The building has chosen not to renew our lease, so we will be closing our doors at this location,' per signage posted on its door.

UPPER NORTHWEST– The Fox at The Palisades closed on Monday, June 2, just eight months after opening. The fledgling cafe served cakes, cookies, lattes, and breakfast sandwiches.

Is the stock market open on Juneteenth 2025?
What we call the stock market in the United States is actually two different stock exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq. Luckily for American investors, both exchanges keep the same hours and observe the same holidays and half days. Typically, the stock market is open for trading every Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, although it closes in observance of 10 different stock market holidays each year. The stock market will be closed on Thursday, June 19th, 2025, in observance of Juneteenth, which was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021. This means that investors should plan to execute any important trades before the 4:00 p.m. closing bell on Wednesday, Jun 18, or plan to delay them until after the 9:30 a.m. opening bell on Friday, June 20. Related: Juneteenth: What's open & what's closed on America's newest federal holiday That being said, many brokerages allow for extended-hours trading, meaning some investors may be able to make trades until 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday the 18th, or begin trading again starting at 4:00 a.m. on Friday the 18th. Here's a full list of all of 2025's stock market half days and holidays: The bond market, like the stock market, is closed on Monday, June 19, 2025, in observance of Juneteenth. Crypto assets like Bitcoin and Solana trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so investors will be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on the 19th without interruption, even though it is a stock market holiday.

Chris Wilder out as Sheffield United's US owners make managerial change
SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — Sheffield United parted ways with manager Chris Wilder on Wednesday after failing to secure a return to the Premier League. The club, which came under American ownership in late December, immediately installed Ruben Selles as Wilder's replacement. Sheffield United lost to Sunderland in the Championship playoff final at Wembley Stadium last month to miss out on promotion. Wilder was in his second spell at the Yorkshire club after leading it to promotion in his first stint from 2016-21. 'A Blade through and through, the legacy Chris and his staff have created here will never be forgotten,' Sheffield United said in a statement. U.S.-based COH Sports completed the purchase of Sheffield United in late December. The group is led by Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, who became the club's co-chairmen. ___
