In defense of South Carolina, our liquor stores stay pretty much in the same
places from election to election, and we have people from North Carolina
driving down here to buy liquor... but don't tell anyone, they're looking for
more sources of revenue now at the State House... <G>..

Sometime when you're in poor backward SC, let me know and I'll take you to
tour Green's <EG>. Wines and beers on one side, liqueurs and spirits on the
other (everclear and corn liquor too), and mostly good stuff. STILL no Sunday
sales though.

See, there's Greenville, and Charleston, and yes, even Columbia... then
there's the REST of SC....
