I love Trader Joe's. Out here in CA we can get the wonderful "Two Buck Chuck".

(Everything else is good too 
But not sure if we can get Emu eggs).
Try Nevada, alcohol flows like water. You can get it anywhere. I actually had culture shock living in DC and had to buy alcohol at a specific alcohol selling joint...totally crazy.
We've been trying to get a Trader Joe's here, but I've always suspected our funky liquor laws have made Middle Tennessee an unattractive option. However, someone also told me that it had more to do with Nashville's distance from one of their distribution centers. Whatever.
Trader Joe's, if you ever wanted to tap a hungry marketplace, Nashville is it. Come on in, the water's fine here ...
I forget sometimes about the big differences between the state in matters like this.
Even in Washington State there are special state stores for selling it.
Here you can buy wine or any kind of liquor in the grocery stores.
Stupid Puritans. Why couldn't the Indians have just killed them and would never have had blue laws. Why can't I buy Southern Comfort on Sunday? It's my soul, let me lose it if I want to.
Stupid Puritans.
It's not the Puritans, Casey. It's the liquor wholesalers.
Legislators will ignore the Bible thumpers if they want to, and I haven't heard anyone from the religious factions voice an opinion about wine sales in grocery stores (at least, not yet.)
Oh, I meant the original "City Upon a Hill" Puritans. Their stupid blue laws have left us with this idiotic set of laws concerning normal human activities such as buying and drinking wine.
The laws are so different from state to state. For example, in South Carolina up to recently bars could only sell airplane bottles of liqour. Of course, that was wholesalers manipulating the Christian blue laws because the little bottles are pricey. Or in the same state bars and clubs have to close at midnight on Saturday to observe the Lord's day.
Or do you remember back in the seventies that Kansas told the airlines that they owned the air above their state and that blue laws applied there. The Jayhawkers passed a law that it was lewd to drink on a plane. Stewardesses used to go around and collect people's drinks five minutes before any flight passed over Kansas. Rank silliness.
That was my point. Just let me sin if I want and let God worry about it. Just one more way that Christians get used in this country. Like the theocrats actually believing that the Republican party will ever end abortion. Why give up all those votes?

No I did NOT!
So, what was Kansas gonna do: check for violations? Have Air Natl. Guard escorts for every 747 flying overhead?
I know it's crazy. How the heck they would have enforced it is beyond me. It used to be even worse in small Hillbilly towns like the one I grew up in, Robbinsville, NC. My uncle and the Sheriff were essentially the local mob. There were no bars but there were the bootleggers who paid my uncle protection money. And man did they make a killing.
Here is a link with some of the silly drinking laws in America, including the Kansas law.
