How do you get recommendations? When's the rebellion? It's bad enough in CT that the liquor stores must be shut on Sunday. </p>KPCKSat, 25 Jul 2009 15:28:47 -0000http://www.crispyontheoutside.com/2009/07/22/better-booze-in-virginia-at-last/#comment-13144808<p>Sadly, Virginia's ABC stores are so much better than Pennsylvania's government owned &amp; operated liquor &amp; wine stores. Unfortunately, there's no movement here to privatize. Regardless of the fact that it's just a political patronage gig, and there have been ethics scandals. The most we've been able to muster in terms of a challenge to the status quo is Wegmans getting a license to sell beer - a maximum of 2 6-packs at a time. (In addition to state-run wine/liquor stores, we have draconian beer sales laws.)</p>BitterWed, 22 Jul 2009 19:12:25 -0000
