CTYankee August 07, 2008	Oh boy! Wine & Beer coming on JFK? That ought to get some folks fired up!


nlrlablover August 08, 2008	It won't be opposed by the powers you think would oppose beer and wine in that area. That place will explode should beer and wine (hell even liquor) be allowed to be sold through the JFK corridor. The place where Western Sizzlin was torn down will be the start of it all.


Big Dog Daddy August 08, 2008	I just hope they don't try to sell womens underware.


nlrlablover August 08, 2008	That is already coming to JFK too. It is called capitalism.
