      Only the last year or so. We had a special thing on the ballot because Republicans were sure it wouldn’t pass. It did but still has that noon stipulation.

      And side rant here but I’m sick of local people acting like I’m an alcoholic for this bothering me. No, I don’t need to drink before noon.

And I shop in the morning while everyone is at church to beat the crowds. Having to go back out hours later for only alcohol is bullshit.
