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

Most Walmart stores sell just about everything seven days a week, but one corner of New Jersey still plays by rules written for a very different era. TikTok user @joselwees found that out on a Sunday trip to Walmart in Bergen County, where the clothing section was closed off to shoppers. His short video about it has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip, the creator explained that he is new to New Jersey and had no idea about the rule. 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

Wayne Council Cuts Ratzer Road Project to 46 Homes From Earlier 71-Unit Plan

933–965 Ratzer Rd. — Approximate Site of Proposed 46-Home Zone. Wayne Township's governing body voted 7–2 to introduce an ordinance creating an overlay zone that would allow up to 46 homes on a long-contested Ratzer Road property, with two council members, Al Sadowski and Joseph Scuralli, casting the dissenting votes. The move scales back a far denser concept that had been on the table for the site, and it comes with strings attached: any homes actually built would need to meet a 20% affordable-housing requirement, and the project still faces Planning Board review before a shovel goes into the ground.
