It seems Maggio's has always been here, but it hasn't. In
the 60's it was located across town, much more convenient to the college.
The prices have always been fair, and the selection amazing. Single
malt scotch to mad dog wine. I couldn't begin to count the varieties here.
More than thirty brands of Bourbon alone.

Of course, the business is selling spirits, and they sell beer and
wines, and just about anything you can think of, and if there is something
unusual you like, they can get it. I've even bought Akvavit
here. If there is a line at the counter, you can spend the time looking
around at the most amazing museum you'll ever see in a liquor store.

The ambience, of course, is PARTY. A full size Captain
Morgan, with huge Mardi Gras beads, leaning on a still.
|
Johnny Maggio collects Coca Cola Stuff, and there's about ten Coke machines,
and every trinket you can imagine.

|
Stills, tankards, lamps and clocks
|
Even an entire post office; not an active station anymore, but it
wouldn't be a bad idea. "Hey honey, I'm going to the post
office!"
