I think Sheetz was the first one to get around that restriction. When I first moved back to PA I saw beer there and did a "triple take." You see when you grow up in PA and go to another state and see beer in the store it always gave you a double take because it was weird. But by then I was used to beer in stores, so when I first moved back and saw beer in the Sheetz model store near Altoona I knew something was amiss. Being late at night on the way back from a courier run to State College didn't help. The President is a fink. |

It takes some serious money to "get around" the restrictions. Wegmans usually has far more chairs and tables than customers, just so it can appear the proper size. They have separate entrance/exit to keep the "we are a bar and not a grocery store" concept viable. More importantly they can survive the lawsuits from the established distributors. But you still can't get a bottle of table wine. |

They tried to sell wine at Giant Eagle here in WPA. But the state being what it is, they had to build a little, enclosed area within the store. Then the store needed to have a camera hooked in to a State Store employee who would verify the buyer was over 21 and not intoxicated. Only after all of that could you get your wine. Can't figure out why it never worked. The President is a fink. |

http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20120624/LOCAL10/306249947/ You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | My mom was an operator at Ma Bell in the 50's. The she worked at the big hotel downtown on a switchboard just like the one in the link. We went to work with her sometimes and it was great fun to play on the thing, get 3 or 4 friends all talking to each other at the same time. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18556 | I just noticed I haven't seen no-money down real- estate infomercials for quite awhile. Maybe I just don't see them here. Carlton Sheets. The two dwarfs. Some other characters whose names I don't remember. All the house flippers. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I understand that two of the top three 'no money down' informercialists had never bought or sold any real estate at all. Now the flipping commercials are targeted ads on facebook and google. |
