5. New Jersey has a county that is "blue." In Bergen County, you can buy food, gas and pharmaceuticals. That's it.

You can't buy hardware, clothes and not much of anything else.

In the 60's a Jewish assemblyman, proposed making Sunday a state lue day. The law passed. His name was Murray Klepish. (I went to school with his son.) This lasted for about five years until people got tired of the nonsense of having to go to Pa. or wait until Monday to replace a burned out light bulb or get parts to fix a sink leak.

The assembly instituted a county-by-county referendum to abolish the blue law. Every county but Bergen voted to abandon the law.
