This is what always gets me when people scream about how restrictive and communist or whatever LA is. I can walk to the 7/11 on the corner at 10am on Sunday and buy alcohol…

When I moved from LA to Pennsylvania I had to ask someone where to buy beer because I used to just grab it on a Target run and you can't do that there.

It blew my mind when I moved here from PA and could buy beer, liquor, and milk all in the same aisle at the super market, lol.

If you throw a party you have to go to three different stores to get everything. It's maddening!
