Blue Laws... Screwing All Of Us.
I never knew how antiquated Massachusetts could be; despite being a progressive state politically.
This morning I was reading the Globe, and I saw this article on the Blue Law that forbids stores from being open on Thanksgiving Day. That, apparently, means grocery stores too. And the police actually go around enforcing this law on Thanksgiving Day. They shut down stores that are in violation.
This is insane. Though I moved Boston from NYC a few years ago... And in NYC, you could get anything, anytime.
I guess if you need milk at the last minute tomorrow to finish off those mashed potatoes or gravy for your dinner, you're totally screwed.
