The Law
Deep in the archives of local municipal codes are Sunday 'Blue Laws' designed to protect the Sabbath. In Bowie, an ancient ordinance forbade citizens from loudly speaking out against religion or using blasphemous language on Sundays to maintain a pious atmosphere. While entirely unconstitutional today, it remains a testament to the town's strict colonial-era morals.
