I find it hard to believe when I look back on everything that it's been literally 20 years since I moved here back home to the Boston area. I live there as a kid but then had moved down with my family to the Northern Virginia/DC area. I took this most recent trip to see a friend at a birthday, a major birthday at that. Much like the trip itself, this has convinced me that where I am now is home. There is no place like Boston. So why do I bring this all up? Well, for anybody local reading this it is a little bit of a culture shock to have a state ABC center where you can buy hard liquor and spirits. Here where I live we have a package stores that we could just simply go and buy them that are independently owned and operated, not controlled by the state itself.
No for anybody from north of Virginia going down there, the state ABC store is kind of unique experience. You walk in you see all the hard liquors categorized by liquor type rows upon rows of it. They do except out-of-state ideas if anyone is concerned. I found the staff to be friendly, I asked about one specific type of whiskey which is hard to find. They did not have in stock. however, I need to buy a nice bottle of wine which I plan to use to celebrate with family this upcoming Thanksgiving.
I can highly recommend this location, and I imagine the other locations are the same standards. read more
