  "story": "Bob's Donuts on Polk Street in San Francisco has run 24 hours and draws a nightlife crowd. Seaside Donuts Bakery in Newport Beach has been open around the clock since 1985. Randy's original drive-in in Inglewood is a 24-hour window.\n\nThe all-night shop is only possible because the fryer runs at night anyway — the overnight bake and the overnight trade are the same shift seen from two sides.",
  "today": "Where a city has a late counter, it tends to be one of the few places open at that hour that is not a bar or a hospital."
