    Yeah they have dropped enforcing some of the blue laws . And it was a weird selection of items like you could buy wood .but you could not buy nails . ??? you could buy paint But you couldn't buy a paint brush ??? ..but now its just no alcohol before 12 noon on sunday.

    No car purchases in Illinois either. Started out as a religious thing years ago but when stores and shops started opening the car dealerships lobbied the state not to open cause they wanted a day off. So no dealers open on Sunday.
