They dont just sell liquor. They sell cola and stuff too. Its no different than a gas station where you can buy beer. Its not like, rolling up, get a mug and roll out. Theres one in Nags Head, and I believe one is Corolla, but maybe Duck.
The one in Tallahassee that I have seen pics of is literally like a fastfood drive-thru! You can get kegs and cases of beer or other kinds of liquor right at the window. It's the only kind I've ever seen!
That's like the one down here. But they sell Cola, and stuff, and I don't know if they ACTUALLY sell liquor.
Yeah I would assume the one in Tally sells sodas as well. That's a good few hour drive from here though so I doubt I'll ever see it in person to find out! I definitely know it has kegs and liquor though from other people who go to FSU up there.
Theres several in Brevard County. Theres a bar and liqour store in Rockledge that has a drivethrough at the package store. We just call it the drivethru. Theres also still a drive through window at a bar called the Crazy Horse in Cocoa. In the early 80's I remember a bar in Cape Canaveral with a drive up window where you could purchase cocktails. At that time, believe it or not, it was LEGAL to consume alcoholic beverages WHILE DRIVING!
As far as my score...57% Dixie. I've been transplanted to Florida from the Northeast. To my neice and nephews up there, I call myselt aunt. To my niece here in Florida I call myself ant, so that one could have gone either way.
I PROMISED myself I would NEVER say y'all when I moved here, but I had to take that back. When I used to wait tables and bartend, I found that customers thought I was speaking to only one of them when I asked "What can I get you?" Saying "what can I get y'all?" solved the problem.
Now that's quite a bit closer to me! Perhaps I'll get to see one of these places after all!!
Not much to look at, but comeon down anytime!

LOL! YALL are bananas!
I got a Southern Score (from Canada eh?)
I was surprised there wasn't a question on you pronounce "oil"
Around here you can hear "awl", "erl", and "arl".
Did you know they get oil from bananas?

41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
My dad was in the Navy, I was born in Virginia, moved to Florida, back to Virginia then North Ca-ca-lac-a. When he retired I was 15 and we moved north to Erie.
No wonder I'm so mixed up!
Anyone recall that Motley Crue song?

Well, despite the fact that I'm English, I got 61% Dixie English. Which is not surprising really considering the Dixie family come originally from a village just a couple of miles from me. In fact the Grammar School is still called Dixie Grammar.
42% - barely into the Yankee category. That's what happens when you live abroad half your life, and teach ESL.
87% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
not surprising, since i was born & raised here in north Texas!

yep - there's one in Denton, about 20 minutes from my town... it even looks like a barn. but i call it a drive thru liquor store, not any of those nicknames...

I just love the posts to this thread by those living in other countries.
Actually, for me this quiz is extremely accurate as I've lived here all of my life.
For me, it's pa-JAM-as, ANT, and OYL, rhyming with boil.
