Starwood Lurker, thanks for the memory of Spec's. After growing up in Houston, I foolishly thought all liquor stores were like that.

Was in College Station recently, and seeing their logo rabbit wearing glasses (Spec's) it was good to see that they had actually improved with age. Lots of gourmet foods, cheeses, and their selection of single malt scotch and wine was still exceptional.

They are the very high end "corner liquor store" in parts of Houston.
