And that's North Carolina. When we go to North Carolina every year - it’s one of the most enjoyable things; going to the supermarket and just buying whatever six-packs you want to try.

Growing up in Illinois, I assumed it was the norm coast-to-coast that you could do your grocery shopping, get a prescription, and all the booze you could carry in a single store. Ahhh, the freedom of the Midwest! ;) All the strange laws about booze out in ye olde original colonies have always struck me as bizarre and archaic.

Will it blind the eyes of young children? Taunt the appetites of alcoholics? Shame the consumer in whose hands it sits? Cause the removal of clothing, the pulling of hair and the gnashing of teeth?

Joey - Conshy has two bars that are smoke-free now - Lucky Dog (Grace doesn't like it, but what does she know?) and Guppies. They weren't my favorite bars, but now are simply because they're smoke free. Tony - All beer distributors in PA should be open on Sundays now (apparently it was never a law that they couldn't, just a practice). Piermani's is better than the other place in Conshy, but I miss the old drive through that used to be on Matsonford Road.

The whole "go outside and come back in between six packs" was always hilarious to me. But it was the loophole to a silly law that annoyed the bars and the customers.

I won't even go into a bar because of the smokers. I don't live in the city. So, I would have to go into the city just to have a beer without getting soaked in smoke smell. In the suburbs, you are getting second-hand smoke. So, you have to just deal with it. The beer laws are completely foolish. Good one.

It's the greatest thing to happen in Conshohocken since the Matsonford Bridge was opened. Piermani’s on East 2nd is open from 12:00-5:00 on Sundays.
