a liquor store going out of business ??!!
… sad, but true. I wanted to tell you about the news I heard today, even though I’m sure you’ll get there before me and buy all the vodka.
The Majestic Liquor store on Oak Lawn at Lemmon Ave is going out of business and is selling everything at 40% off. Apparently most of the liquor is gone but there is plenty of wine left.
See you there!
vodka and kisses – Susie
