That has to be their priority. But in rural communities, there are more useful amenities than liquor stores. Rural folks could use closer access to groceries and pharmacies. That's one reason that Wal-Mart and the Dollar stores have been so successful. There's an ongoing controversy in my neck-of-the-woods. A woman has been fighting a Dollar store going in next door to her which will dwarf the size of her home, the proposed store is so large that they're going to have to build it sideways on the lot, not to mention the traffic. But the latest story said she lost her battle and she's moving. The sad thing is that all her neighbors lined up against her.
