I found out my liquor store back in Mankato is closed now and I'm so sad

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So yesterday I did a day trip to Mankato. I do these periodically for nostalgia jolts, and it's a pretty nice drive honestly, although I didn't really notice that in college (probably because I did it so often I was bored of it.) I also print off how to same-day register to vote forms and drop them at my old apartment complex because again, I did it in 2006 and nostalgia jolt.

Anyway while I was there I planned on buying a bottle at my old liquor store that regularly supplied me in college...and it's closed. Vacant part of the building, and signs from a realtor about it being for rent.

Nooooooooooooo. So many memories and drunkeness from there. I enjoyed things otherwise but that really bummed me out.

But I also found out that the next closest liquor store to the area (which is still fairly close) shares a building with a store that primarily sells weed edibles.

You are lucky that there are still liquor stores open in MN, while meanwhile women seeking reproductive health care are fleeing elsewhere.

What are you talking about?

BRTD what kind of liquor do you even drink you look like you would unironically enjoy Franzia boxed wine

Rum and (non-Russian) vodka. Not big on wine. Also enjoy those Twisted Shotz things but those weren't around when I was in college.
