Corner monuments seem to always be found in the last place you look.

Are there still places where virtually all businesses are shut down on Sunday per some State law?

I remember North Carolina in 1977 worked that way.

The original 7 acre townsite of Bethany, OK had no Sunday commerce written into their ordinances.  It also prohibited working on Sunday, but I believe that was successfully challenged in the late '60s. 

I haven't been there in thirty years so it may have changed...but I doubt it

There will always be that one property owner who is Coo-coo for Coco-puffs, who will make stepping in doggy-doo, the highlight of your day.

Two Wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

They tend to frown on mowing your lawn, or engaging in any type of commerce on Sunday, in Lynden WA...

 

businesses east of the Guide Meridian (Highway 509) can stay open, because they are outside the city limits. Aug 20, 1995

Here is another for some serious "Deep Thought".

They renamed the "Wienermobile" the "Frankmobile"!

"Today, Oscar Mayer maintains six of the 23-foot-long vehicles, which travel across the United States. The Frankmobile is really still the same Wienermobile as before, but now with Frankmobile branding on the bun."

I don't buy Oscars reason for changing the name either.

That's because every tennis court ever built has had a no pets allowed sign on it.

If you are wrong, and I agree with you, then we'd both be wrong. Now, how's that gonna help?

 

"I can run faster scared, than you can mad, so, I'm safe"

 

"Built in antenna".

What country is that?

A dyslexic couple may not understand exs, so there may not be any skid.
