Columbia Class of 2006 Blog

on the way to the giants game yesterday, we drove from massachusetts and stopped at the super stop and shop on rte 17 south. we bought cheese, hot dogs, buns, we had burgers, and we attempted to buy a spatula. they would not sell us the spatula. in other words, we can buy the food, but not have any way to cook it properly. well, we got creative and used a piece of cardboard from our box of joe from dunkin donuts. IN YOUR FACE BERGEN COUNTY- YOU JUST LOST $1.59 IN SALES THANKS TO YOUR STUPID LAW!

Great site! Keep it running!

Regarding the Blue Laws in Bergen County, I have to agree with the last poster of December 8, 2003. At any of the supermarkets open in Paramus, you cannot buy so much as a sewing needle or thread, batteries, a cake pan, or a mop. How stupid can we get?? What is even more baffling is how the peopole of the communities that the store serves, just LET IT BE!!! How this contributes to making it a "holier" day, I have no idea. If the store is going to be allowed to be open, it should be allowed to sell everything it stocks. If they're worried about more traffic (usually the complaint here is about NJ -- and Paramus in particular -- being so much more of a greater draw to the shoppers from NY because there is no sales tax on clothing), I hardly think anyone is going to be running across the bridge for a cake pan, a needle or a mop! From what I understand, the Blue Laws in Bergen County have come up for vote several times, and even though all county residents are allowed to vote, the change has been struck down every time by the residents of Paramus who show up in hordes to vote it down -- just so they don't have to put up with traffic on Sundays. Here's a thought -- Paramus isn't the only town that puts up with traffic on STATE highways 17 and 4 -- the other towns that border Paramus, i.e., Rochelle Park, River Edge, Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Hackensack and Ridgewood, also get their share of the traffic problems caused by the overdevelopment on those two highways -- but none of the tax advantages. Other towns in Bergen county where supermarkets are open on Sundays (i.e., Rochelle Park and Teaneck), are allowed to sell every item in their store, it is only Paramus that puts such a stranglehold on it's commerce and community. As with the other poster, I have no idea how this law passes constitutional muster any more -- it probably wouldn't if someone -- anyone -- would take it that far. If you want to argue in favor of the law for religious reasons, then it is discriminatory because it does not provide for the same restrictions for the Islamic and Jewish Sabbaths of Friday and Saturday... The whole thing is a throw back to the days when a lot of other things that we won't get into here were allowed -- even legal -- and they seriously need to be challenged and let go. Going forward I think each community should be allowed to decide for itself whether it wants to be allowed to have open shopping allowed on Sundays...might give the people in Paramus something to think about.

How can the Blue Laws even be legally allowed still to this day? Is n't this mixing church and state? I don't even believe that this is something to be voted on. It must just be outlawed...but how???
