South Bend, huh? Never would have pegged you...Jar,<br />South Bend, huh? Never would have pegged you for a central stater. I don't think I've seen <I>Avalon</I> since shortly after its original release but your comment, given that we're of very much the same generation, still paints a clear picture.<br /><br />Joe M,<br />Old college friends of mine worked at Daily Grind back in its infancy so, along with its place in Simon's work, it's always held a spot in my memory.<br /><br />Chesapeake is definitely a cool shop. In addition to the Lopez de Heredia, I picked up bottles from Tissot, Bruno Verdi and Puffeney. Could have kept going but exercised economic control....<br /><br />I'll definitely have to sit down for a marathon viewing of <I>The Wire</I> one of these days.<br /><br />Nancy,<br />Thanks. I enjoy taking pics and sharing them, even if they're rarely artful.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-64260622503394022452009-04-15T00:44:00.000-04:002009-04-15T00:44:00.000-04:00Very nice pics!

It's always fun to read your posts about...David - <br /><br />It's always fun to read your posts about my hometown. Dan Simon was a big Daily Grind fan in the early days, very cool of you to mention it.<br /><br />I'm glad that you got to Chesapeake. Mitchell does a very solid job and I'm sure you had some good choices, often times not the case in the Maryland wine shop scene.<br /><br />Oh, and back to Dan Simon. You need to give The Wire some time to sink in, not a few episodes here and there, but one a night several nights a week through the duration of the first season. Then you'll either be obsessed or not.Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068628197191676490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-23123058418552239932009-04-13T17:26:00.000-04:002009-04-13T17:26:00.000-04:00Avalon could have been about my family if it had b...Avalon could have been about my family if it had been set in South Bend Indiana...Do Bianchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744434741371288465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-67672187541019319472009-04-13T15:18:00.000-04:002009-04-13T15:18:00.000-04:00Agreed, Tom, at least in free market states. It's...Agreed, Tom, at least in free market states. It's a sticky issue here in PA though, where the PLCB is currently working to open retail shops inside a "select" group of gourmet stores and cafés owned by private restaurateurs (who, at least in the first case with José Garces, are also PLCB licensees in their other ventures).<BR/><BR/>Hey Joe,<BR/>Good guess! I liked the episodes of that other Baltimore cop show (aka "The Wire") that I saw but never was hooked by it and still have never taken in the series from start to finish. So yeah, at least for now, "Homicide" is my #1.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-85236242283085157212009-04-13T14:04:00.000-04:002009-04-13T14:04:00.000-04:00Hey Tom.

So, you liked "Homicide" more than "The Wire"?Joseph Loganhttp://www.publicorgtheory.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-47248203780896444652009-04-13T11:27:00.000-04:002009-04-13T11:27:00.000-04:00What a wonderful world it would be if all states a...What a wonderful world it would be if all states allowed the retail store/restaurant option for liquor licenses.<BR/><BR/>I've mentioned this a LOT of times to my Delaware representatives.
