NY did some thing where a liquor store can't be open 7 days, but they can pick which, right?
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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sure the liquor store I normally go to (across the street from Dylan's old daycare) is open 7 days, so maybe they repealed that one too?

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.

It was not until 1994 that businesses in Massachusetts were allowed to open before noon on Sundays.
That may have been true in Conn as well.

France has(had?) a law whereby stores have to close one day a week. Stores usually choose Sunday, or sometimes Monday. There was a decent fine if you break the law. For the longest time, the Virgin Megastore was one of the only things open on Sunday and they made so much money by being open that they just paid the fine every week.

Man, I love the internet! Apparently stores could open on Sunday in MA as of 1983: [link]

The Liquor store by my house also appears to be open 7 days a week. He also stays open until 6 pm on Sunday, and most other places are open until 4. His sign says 4, though...

On a pure tangent, I drove a Subaru with a manual transmission for many years. It had this cool clutch setup were the car wouldn't roll backwards with the clutch depressed. I wonder why that never caught on.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The law 8pm in CT when I was growing up. I worked at a grocery store when I was 16 and we pulled a shower curtain over the beer at 8pm ( nothing else with alcohol was sold in grocery stores)
When I was kid , no shopping on Sunday -- but as I grew up it changed. When I worked at a mall , I wished for blue laws to come back.
