What! You're in NJ? Let me know if you wander Philadelphia-wards!

[stereowire]

I am near Princeton right now, and hoping to make Columbus OH, so... alas, I think I'm going to miss Philly :(

I just realized from your last post that you were in my state! LIVE FREE OR DIE.

[stereowire]

Haha yeah! What's with the giant liquor outlet by the side of the freeway?!

[misspamela]

LOL, well, first of all, there's no such thing as a freeway up in these parts. It's a highway! :D

The liquor outlets on the highways -- there are MULTIPLE liquor outlets, many if them off major exits -- are state-run and the only place you can buy liquor in the state. Beer and wine can be sold in grocery stores and convenience stores. NH has no sales tax or income tax, so it's one way our government makes money. We also make money from people coming up form Massachusetts, where you can't buy beer/wine/liquor in grocery stores of convenience store or on Sundays. (They changed the blue laws not that long ago; I think a lot of stores sell on Sundays, but for shorter hours.)

Okay, yeah, Washington has state-run liquor stores too, but they're all usually tucked away in normal neighborhood business areas. I just-- wasn't expecting to see a giant warehouse conveniently located at a highway exit as soon as I crossed the border from Maine :D

Well of course. You need Danny Williams or Kevin Smith as a tour guide. ;)

[stereowire]

THAT'S where I went wrong. Think they could have gotten me through traffic?

[rosewildeirish]

Danny? Definitely, he's done car chases in the mean, crime-ridden streets of Hawai'i. Kevin Smith? Probably, based purely on innate awesomeness.
