All those yankees sure like smoking in our bars.

I was in NC a few years back for business. There was this seafood restuarant where I really wanted to eat. I drove up to the restuarant and there was a big crowd waiting outside the door. I thought, "Geeeeez, I don't want to wait an hour for dinner. Well, at least I'll check and see how long the wait is..." I went up to the hostess desk, and they seated me right away in Non-Smoking. There were empty tables all around me.........
You've got that right. The restaurant/bar owners we've gotten to know since moving here 3 years ago have seen a huge increase in business from people that used to vacation in Delaware, and now make the extra 75 miles down to this part of Virginia instead.........all because of the smoking ban in Delaware.
I started tending bar at the local Moose Lodge last week and had a couple come in Saturday night from Pennsylvania. They recently got a place here for their weekends and vacations after getting rid of the place they had at the beach in Delaware - why, because the only places they felt comfortable in was the Moose or VFW, which are among the very few places you can smoke in Delaware.
