The state of NH has liquor stores at the rest stops on the three major interstate highways.
They are set up to sell to the people traveling through or on vacation. Especially the people in MA where liquor is heavily taxed. The difference in a 1.75 liter bottle between NH and MA is $10-15/bottle.
I have personally seen people in the parking lots of the liquor stores loading up vans with MA plates. They were loading THOUSANDS of dollars worth of alcohol. They probably owned a business down in MA. The most recent time were a couple of Asian guys loading several dozen cases of wine and booze. I suspect they owned a place down in the Chinatown section of Boston. The type of place that still has gambling in the basement. “Winner, winner chicken dinner”
Interesting.
Back in the 60s I worked in an auto plant in Ohio.
At shift change there were peeps selling low taxed Kentucky cigarettes out of their car trunk.
