There is a shop right next to Lotte in Catonsville. Indian bazar or something for a last min resort.

It’s Giant and Shoppers in PG—both chain stores. It’s not every location, but the point is that there’s not a statewide ban on alcohol sales on grocery stores. Many of the rural counties have no restrictions at all.

Not really, there are a few exceptions like Giant in White Oak in MoCo that are grandfathered in and some Eastern shore stores that are exempt , but chain stores are prohibited in most of MD. If you see it in PG, likely not a chain store.

So it basically took them like 8 years to get approved?

Never denied, just contested, with a lot of appeals. They finally won! But will be a completely separate business.

Since when? I know you can in DC, never seen it in PG tho

My guess is that most real Columbia neighborhoods are pretty good. Tell your kids to make friends who live in townhouses for maximum candy per foot, if you don’t mind crowds.

It’s a county thing, not state. You can buy beer and wine in PG County grocery stores

Probably most candy-efficient with your time to go to an apartment complex

Monday. I know about several trunk or treats, but I like the traditional door to door.

Are kids trick or treating tonight or on Monday?

Oh they are finally moving forward with this! That’s what the intention of the space was for when they opened this Wegmans years ago, but they’ve just been using it mainly for storage since. Looking forward to the new place.

The new owners of Sandy’s (formerly Cindy’s) are fantastic as well

According to conservatives this nation has been in ruin since it was founded, and we always need to go back to the good ol days when the nation was better.

I used to live near Cindy's and it was my go-to liquor store. The staff was always nice and they had a great selection. When I heard they were moving to the Wegman's location I was happy for them.

Same

I went in and talked to them, they are still building it out. They said it will be a couple of months, but it’s moving forward.

I swung by it the other day: Opening early november (they are already stocking up). To get to it, take the ramp to the second level of parking and head to the far side of the lot. They have walled off this part of the upper floor, so you can only get there from the outside now I believe.

Hickory Ridge area near Clemons Crossing. Can’t go wrong!

Beer and liquor licensing in Maryland is entirely corrupt. The industry dominates heavily to political canidates.

Thanks for the recommendation. Maple lawn is closer for us. We'll try this next year.

It’s a separate store with a separate entrance. You can’t access it from inside wegmans. When it opens you can take a staircase or the elevator from the first floor of wegmans near the prepared foods to the second floor then go outside and in a separate door to the liquor store.

At the Harris Teeter in South Baltimore (McHenry Row), they had a beer and wine store that was owned and operated by a separate vendor, but you could get to it from inside via a sliding glass door. Probably same model here.

Stupid MD laws not allowing chain stores to sell alcohol. Most places at least allow beer and wine sales.

2nd this. Steven’s Forest Rd was pretty busy last year.
