What are your thoughts? The infamous mega project "American Dream Mall" has been open for nearly a year on Sundays despite Blue Laws in #BergenCountyNJ. Fighting against the controversial law that prohibits non essential businesses from being open on Sundays which stems from a religious belief in the 17th century. #bergencounty officials are not pleased with American Dream's disregard for the Blue Laws & say that the mall is taking an unfair advantage by not complying. The CEO of the company that owns the mall said in the statement "ecstatic our extensive list of offerings operates on Sundays, allowing everyone to enjoy the very best of #americandreammall whenever they want." Nearly 8 months ago, #BergenCounty tried to enforce the blue laws by pressing the New Jersey sports and exposition authority, with the NJSEA ruling it does not have the authority. Opinions on the Blue Laws are pretty divided. With many including @towns_of that believe that the appropriate law should not apply for small businesses in downtown districts. However, many #locals are rightfully concerned on how it might impact traffic on Sundays, a day they use for unwinding.
