Cheers to Pennsylvania

Thank you Pennsylvania!
92 years ago today, PA opened the USA’s first liquor store on Broad Street Philly.
6 days before prohibition ended.
Some said it was a…pour decision.
Cheers!

Trivia time:
The first booze legally bought was a bottle of Old Overholt rye whiskey.
And the sign “suggestion” was a real thing. Really? In the store?

imagining what the first PA state store may have looked like when it opened in 1933 after prohibition in the USA.
