A New Jersey shopper walked into Walmart and found the clothing aisles blocked off because selling them that day is illegal

He told viewers that in Bergen County it is illegal to sell clothes on a Sunday, so at Walmart, “they basically close off all the clothes.” The footage pans across racks of coats and other clothing that shoppers could see but could not buy that day. The creator ended the video by asking his followers for an explanation, saying “I need answers.” His caption was shorter and more pointed, calling the situation “petty,” while the on-screen text simply asked what was going on in Bergen County. The answer, as several commenters quickly explained, is a set of blue laws that has survived in the county for decades. Bergen County’s blue laws still ban Sunday clothing sales Bergen

Why Do NYC Buildings Have Wooden Water Towers on the Roof?

New York City buildings have wooden water towers on their roofs because the city’s street-level water pressure is not always strong enough to reach the upper floors. In a traditional system, a pump lifts water to a tank above the apartments. When someone turns on a faucet or takes a shower, gravity sends that stored water back down through the building’s pipes. The rooftop tank is there to provide a dependable source of water and pressure, not to decorate the skyline.
