Most everything closed up by 10 pm, which is early compared to where I live.
Gosh, I guess that the civilization in US grows up North! In north California everything was closed up by 7 pm. You are a pretty darn lucky stranger if you found a coffee shop open till 8 pm. BTW, in Novosibirsk I've never had even a glimpse of thought that after a hard working day I could be cut off from a cup of coffee.

There was a 65 mph limit in California though while driving 75 I identified myself with a snail seeing all those cars overcoming me with the speed of Pacific storm. Nobody cared if there were cameras or not.
