It was dry on Sunday in the late 80’s. The late Tilly Fowler lead the charge to end the Sunday prohibition from her seat on the city council. The initial compromise was in order to serve alcohol on Sunday you had to have a certain percentage of total sales as food sales. Before that I can remember a few trips across the Saint John’s county line to purchase beer on a Sunday. I still recall going into grocery stores with chains around the doors in the beer isle and signs hanging off of them stating no alcohol sales on Sunday.
