As someone who grew up in a northern NJ county that still has Blue Laws, I support the local merchants who close on Sundays. Thank goodness the large malls in Bergen County are closed on Sunday or we would have the same bottleneck traffic in Paramus as the rest of the week, and getting to church would be a nightmare! It's bad enough we have to fight the Giants/Jets game traffice leaving after Sunday morning services. One of the local farms with a large farmstand/bakery does a bang up business all week, but on Sunday there is a chain across the driveway with a sign "Closed Sunday for God and Family". I'm sure they could make a mint on Sunday if they stayed open, but I know they make up for it the other 6 days of the week. If I know they are closed on Sunday, I just make sure I get there Sat. or after work. Just my opinion, but I think too many families don't spend their Sundays together, heck a lot don't even have dinner together during the week anymore.
