Loophole

Ok, so I have my camera to upload pictures, but I grabbed the wrong stupid cable....

I couldn't believe this:
Last Sunday, I was over at some friends' house having dinner and one of them said: "Hey, do you want some beer?" I said sure, but remembered it was Sunday. I conveyed this along with the fact that you can't buy alcohol on Sundays to my thirsty friend. She looked at me with a devious grin on her face and said "I know a place."
As it turns out, there was a liquor store in Fells Point (an area of downtown Baltimore) whose owners decided to combine the idea of a bar (where, in fact, you can purchase alcohol on Sundays...you just can't get it to go) with a liquor store. Keep in mind, this was not a high-class place; the store itself had dirty linoleum floors, postered-up windows and a chaotically "organized" selection (the cool part was the walk-in cooler with the beer). The pièce de résistance of the whole store was the bar. If I remember correctly, it looked like someone kludged together some scrap wood and stuck a few stools beside it. Somehow this dilapidated, poor-excuse-for-a seventh-grade-shop-project allows the residents of Baltimore to do something few others have ever been able to do: pickup some hooch on your way home from church.
