20. It's a little more complex than that

Everyone here should know the intro to that song:

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.
Walk right it. It's around the back.
Just a half a mile from the railroad track.
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

Alice's Restaurant was not the name of the restaurant, it was the name of the song. The name of the restaurant was The Back Room. It was at 40 Main Street, Stockbridge. This is a two-story building. On the ground floor at the time Arlo threw the half-ton of garbage over the side of the cliff, the Main Street side of the building was occupied by Stockbridge's grocery store. The back side of the building was The Back Room. And the entire second floor was Norman Rockwell's studio.

After the grocery store closed, no new one was built...but there are a LOT of towns in Mass that don't have grocery stores.
