i think CT\'s major downfall is having liquor stores only open til 9 pm. Sunday\'s can be dealt w/. I\'d be lost if i couldn\'t go to the packy at 10:15 at night.
Stevie would know better than I do, but I feel like increasing hours has a negative affect on local businesses. All of a sudden, the owner of a small liquor store has to either choose to close at 9 p.m. anyway (which could lead to a loss of business over time... I\'m going to the store that I
know will be open) or to pay extra to keep the lights on, keep the place staffed, etc. Meanwhile, the Stop and Shop that sells alcohol and is open anyway sees no change except for some extra profit from beer sales from 9 p.m. to midnight.
