You will see this change if Indy expects to see a SuperBowl. People will not come if it is in effect. This will factor into many decisions arrived upon.

Amen brother!

when i lived in southern indiana we sometimes drove to louisville to purchase carry out on sundays. i think it's a dumb law, as well as the one on election day, where bars cannot open till 6pm. i sure do hope this law can be changed, because, as you said, the state could make much more in tax revenues if this law were abolished.

Yes. It's especially silly since you can still go to bars and drink all you want.

even dumber is that car dealerships cant be open on sundays

Ah... I worked at a car lot for 4 1/2 years (Tom Wood Pontiac on E. Washington St, in case you were wondering). I remember one day a young salesman was talking with a particularly crusty old car sales veteran and was complaining that they couldn't work on Sundays. The veteran got really angry and said that it was his generation that had to fight to get car dealerships closed on Sundays so that the slave driver owners would give them a day off.

The way car sales works is that everyone works Saturday, because it's the busiest day. When you take into account that the dealerships are open until 9 p.m. at least twice a week, the salesmen are working 50-60 hours a week or more.

Sure, they're assigned a "day off," but they're often expected to work it, especially if they have to close a deal or something.

So not to defend car salesmen (though my father and cousin are both one and my uncle was one for a long time), but there's a reason why they're closed on Sunday, and it's that dealership owners are slave drivers and will work their salesmen with literally no time off.

By the way, I was not a salesman. I worked in the service department-I was the "porter"-aka car parker/lot lackey.

I don't know.... I buy a car every 5 - 8 years. I buy booze 5 - 8 times a week. I'm much more inconvenienced by the outdated liquor law.

the same goes with Real Estate Agents... but they're expected to host open houses on Sunday...

Car sales is the only job, aside from liqueur store worker who's job it's illegal to work on Sundays.

How come liquer stores can't sell cold pop? I ate at O'Charley's last night and was going to order a Jagerbomb, when the waitress informed me that jager had too higha proof for them. What the hell is that silly stuff?

It just isn't correct,the way we are having to pay so much for a dozen eggs,a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk,it seems strange the State won't accept the revenue for these sales.
