Fireworks runs into more permissive neighboring states were a big thing around the 4th of July (U.S. Independence day) when I was growing up.

This is still a thing, at least if the number of fireworks stores right at state lines are any indication. (I recently saw some along the Georgia-Tennessee border, although I can't remember which side they were on.)

It is even stranger in Texas, where the state says they are OK to sell at certain times of year but most large cities and towns prohibit them. Thus, you see seasonal roadside stands set up in unincorporated areas.

Tennessee - the restrictions are very loose there.
- Pennsylvania has relatively strict laws regarding alcohol, so just over the Delaware border you'll find a lot of these "border shops" (although I haven't heard that word in the US); - my wife was born in a dry county in Arkansas. Just over the county line (which happens to be the state border with Oklahoma) there are drive-through liquor stores. You can go, get your booze, and turn right around and go home.
