Just remember that it is owned by the Haft family of Crown Books, Trak  Auto,
and Dart (remember them?) Drug who's green mail damn near put Safeway out of
business.  I wouldn't shop in any of their stores, but it is a free country, and
I'd defend your right to.  Try Vienna Vintners, 300 E Maple in Vienna.  Small,
intimate, and very customer responsive.

Remember, if you paid full price, you didn't buy it at Crown Booze...

I would rather have a lit cigar stuck up my nose than patronize a
business owned by that stinking family. They have done nothing
but ruin decent companies by saddling them with debt in their
insincere take-over attempts. They are immoral sacks of shit.
They ruined the book trade in Washington (did you notice that
since they started their operations in the book business that
all the REAL book shops have folded?). Do not give them your
business. Please. Do not reward this kind of piranha behavior
with your custom. Please. Okay?
