Thank you, Lenny, for this story. I agree, let's praise the stores who did not sell. Len, it would be interesting to know the consequences of being caught. Thanks again.

I wonder how the Hill Top, The Hut or the Deer Lodge would have made out in this bust. They should tell the under agers' they sell to not to post pictures of themselfs in their bars on MYSPACE. And OVN thank you again for posting the good guys as well.

I would think anyone under 50 in either The Hut or The Hilltop would stick out like a sore thumb.

1:47, you must have not been to any of these bars lately they are so much catering to the over 50 crowd any more.

I guess lushes just age quicker than teetotalers. I did not realize these places were the hip places for the younger set. Sorry to display my ignorance.
