In a weird twist, a major chain of liquor stores have declared bankruptcy here lately.
I live in a dry town, which means that we have to go outside city limits for booze. Yesterday Rod and I realized we were short some bottles. We headed down to the local store, part of the chain, and there was no hard liquor at all. At ALL. It was all wine. There’s about six other stores in the vicinity of this one store, but guess what? They’re all owned by the same company!
So I asked the guy where the closest non-Centennial owned store was, and he pointed us down the road.
We headed in that direction, and what should I behold as we come around the bend? A Spec’s. SPEC’s people! SPEC’S!!!!
A Houston import, but I didn’t realize they’d opened one so close to my house. A sign on the door read “Pardon our Construction” but they were set to sell. Yes indeed.
Really weird how SPEC’s was right there….and the other stores are now bankrupt. Weird indeed.
In another bizarre twist, it’s snowing here today. It’s quickly turning into slush, but whatever.
