    Sunday Sales Pass in DeKalb with 72% of Vote

    Decatur Metro | March 7, 2012

    The AJC’s Primary Results page shows that Sunday alcohol sales passed rather easily, with 72% of the vote supporting the measure.

    Throw away your signs YDFM and other grocery stores!  It’s time for some Sunday sales.  Well, don’t throw them out just yet.  We need to determine when the Sunday Sales will go into effect.

    In other local news, Atlanta residents decided to keep the 1-percent sewer tax, as opposed to pay higher water and sewer rates.

      Also, even after the commission votes and it takes effect, you still won’t be able to buy until after 12:30 on Sundays!

      Who gets up on Sundays before 12:30 anyways? ;) I feel like THAT should be illegal.

            Have brunch with my ex-mother-in-law and you’ll understand the need for a drink.

        The only tolerable weekend hours at YDFM are from 9am-11am Sunday morning, while most folks are at church. I try to be waiting at the door at 9, just to avoid the crush.

          +1

          That is when we do our grocery shopping too. I guess I still will not be able to grab a bottle of wine without making another trip/stop. :/

      I guess I’ll still have to remember to hit the Pitch & Putt Drive Thru on Saturday night if I want to get my drink on before Sunday Mass…

      One need to buy beer before 12:30 on Sundays- NFL games! It is just a matter of logistics and doesn’t always mean you are going to drink that early.
