Malls were definitely open on Sundays (even in Mass.), not package stores though.
I still can't believe you can buy liquor on Sundays there now! And get tattoos! Crazy.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Why are liquor stores called package stores in Mass? The first time I heard "package store" I thought we were going to UPS!
Heh. I think for the subtlety -- you got your booze in a brown paper package? But I don't actually know.
Also, I had a friend in high school whose boyfriend was nicknamed "Packy" like the liquor store, and no one thought there was a problem with that!

Mass. is crazy. Even in my youth, package stores there were open until 10 pm, not 8 pm, as in the ever-more-civilized Conn.

Huh:
It was not until 1994 that businesses in Massachusetts were allowed to open before noon on Sundays.

We just started to e able to buy wine and liquor on Sundays here in NY, too, I think. I don't know if you still can't buy beer before noon on a Sunday, though.

NY did some thing where a liquor store can't be open 7 days, but they can pick which, right?

It was only a couple of years ago that any Sunday Shopping was allowed in Nova Scotia. There was a real fight against it. But bars were allowed to be open.

91. Having to manually unlock a car door.
My car is fully manual. No power locks, no power windows, no power steering, and even a manual transmission. Kids know all about having to actually use the keys to get in.
96. Libraries as a place to get books rather than a place to use the internet.
I don't think so. Maybe once E-books are economical enough to really take off.

Yeah - you have to be closed 1 day a week, but it doesn't have to be Sunday.
Except I'm pretty sure the liquor store I normally go to (across the street from Dylan's old daycare) is open 7 days, so maybe they repealed that one too?

“Not dead yet!”
I drive a standard. Have taught someone how to drive a standard. And when I was growing up in Miami, all the stores were open on Sundays, so it wasn't until I went to college that I experienced stores being closed on Sundays and not being able to buy liquor on Sundays.
