Oh yeah.  Prolly the best liquor store I've ever been to is inside/next to the Hyvee.  It's ginormous and you just wheel your shopping cart full of apples or whatever into the booze side and shop your ass off.  They have a guy dedicated to micro brews and a wine guy that will each answer all your questions and special order stuff.  Very elite.

Two buck chuck is amazing.  I worked in Irvine for awhile and discovered it out there. 



Also, it's a good wine for making sangria.

I think Ward is a formerly elite center that is on the cusp of some great things.  It's not like there is anywhere to build it on plaza and Brookside could be the most expensive place to build/open a new place in the city.  Makes sense to me and it's not a horrible from west plaza.

ya i've thought about it a little bit after discussing with some friends and agree they haven't done too bad.  brookside/waldo is the first and obvious choice, but they already have two boutque markets (brookside and constantinos).

south plaza on main street (near where the double dragon used to be) would have been the elitest for me.  nothing on west plaza is zoned corrrectly for a TJs.

i hate any new development in south leawood.

There are stores in KS that have the liquor under the same roof, but seperated by a small glass wall, same in Massachusetts and there are plenty of TJs there.

Nevermind, you wouldn't know what to do at a TJ's.

You misjudge.

Love me some quality food and good deals on wine.

I mean, they are pretty much the same as a Casey's General store, right?   :dunno:

Just don't go grocery shopping, and DO go to Kelly's instead.

I am doing some research on a company that has a location in Omaha, Trader Joes. and i was wondering if anybody on here that lives in omaha would be willing to exchange a few e-mails on their perception on the new stores.

hey sd! If you like a good hoppy metallic tasting ale, try the Mission Street Pale Ale, only $5.99. Just be sure to not wipe the top really well before you take your first drink.

I'm worried they will treat the good micro brew beer like bud light and not wipe the tops good.   :ohno:

I believe this is up to the individual county or city whether or not to do this.  Look for higher DWI rates due to drunks racing to a "2am county" so they can chug a few more Busch Lights.

Nice consolation prize.  Fresh Market is a good alternative to Dillons and Wal-Mart Market.  All you need to do is look at the comments from the hayseeds to know it is a good choice for the great smelling portion of Wichita.  Of course I got out of the hood and moved to the elite West Side.  Not sure if I want to be a drive by target and drive through filly's thuggish hood to buy some fresh capicolla

If we freshpak, we can take the long way around and go over on 96 and back down Rock, which should keep us sufficiently away from the danger zone.

I'm more concerned with whether she decides to bring some of "those people" to MOAP2.5.
