I believe having liquor stores away from neighbors helps diffuse the crime problem.  Look what happened in Dallas?  Robberies, vandalism and drunks.. we dont need them in town.

Interesting.  All of the evidence we turned up during our investigation to battle these same ideals during the "Great Liquor Election of 2007" disagreed with that statement.  It was actually kinda funny, someone on the other side would make a statement like that, and we'd show them studies and reports which proved otherwise.  They'd say "you can get a study to say anything" but never *actually* provided a study to show their point of view, instead just repeated their false mantra.  It was mostly just a bunch of strong opinions - which is fine, please don't get me wrong - but don't ever make the presumption to state your opinion as fact.  Anyway, I agree with Mr. Deragon insofar as "the public spoke."

Damn right.

Except for Fred -- who apparently just tolerates the rest of us drunkards. LOL

In order to get away from the crusty ol' package store stigma, we need a Spec's Liquor! Haven't been to one in Big D. But the stores in Houston, in addition to liquor, carry impressive selections of cheeses, meats, deli/party trays, fine cigars, and other party/celebratory foods and favors. They are the "World Market" of liquor stores.
