not a good look

I suppose that's next, but it's being fought by the liquor store owners. Heck, we still have some towns that only allow liquor sales in "municipal" liquor stores. Those city owned stores use the profits to supplement their tax revenues.

There are even a few "municipal" bars, here and there, although they're becoming dinosaurs, since people can just drive to the next town and skip going to those.

competition has significantly lowered prices here-I'd say as much as 15-20% since grocery stories have begun selling wine

There are still liquor stores around, though. They offer a larger selection of products and also sell kegs and other stuff. The mom and pop liquor stores are long since gone.

Minnesota seemed really strange when I first moved here, but I've gotten used to it.

I cannot for the life of me, though, understand the ban on car sales on Sundays. That makes no sense whatsoever to me. People go car-shopping on weekends. I'd think the car dealers would have pushed Sunday sales through long ago. You can go and walk around the lot, of course, but there's nobody there to talk to. Odd as heck.

AZ used to have a law with no sales on Sunday prior to noon. But I believe that changed once the Cardinals (NFL) moved to town.

Law had some unintended consequences, for example, if you were going to the river on Sunday you made a large liquor buy on Saturday night. So after drinking too much on Saturday you would go out and buy more beer!
