Well the 3.2 beer is gone (I hope) but the Commonwealth controlled stores are still around. Unless you know someone (or have yourself) a military ID card. Then you can go on any number of Navy or Army bases and buy nicely discounted beverages Monday through Monday. Of note is the fact that you can also buy wine and beer in the grocery stores and do not have to go to the ABC store.

I have lived here since 1987 and am retired military.

There are a couple of nice wine stores in the area along with lots of restaurants from casual to upscale. Seafood is the highpoint and then there is some Italian, some Pacific Rim and lots of little "mom & pop" places that may or may not please the palate.

I can direct you to one or two of the places that have been around for a couple of generations; one doesn't advertise and they are a top notch seafood restaurant.

I'm not sure if my email address is immediately available anymore to users of this board (because I've had some problems with SPAM). However if you REALLY would like to get in touch with me ask me for my REAL email address by contacting me at mrduttonxatxhotmail.com (delete xatx and insert @).
