Through personal knowlegde I can attest to the truth of the harm listed here by the establishments in Delaware.

A lot of the smaller taverns in southern Delaware (the 4 places listed are in the northern area close to the maryland and Pennsylvania border) are only making it because they have an off-sale license or are attached to a package store.

The owner of the package store in my old neighborhood told me she had seen an increase in sales immediately following the start of the ban, remember it went into effect the day before Thanksgiving, and it never slacked off. More people were staying home or entertaining at home.

Package stores, catering businesses and bars and restaurants in nearby states are the only beneficiaries of Delaware's ban.

One of my favorite places in dover was put on the market this summer, and that was one of the luckier places it has an outside deck - but that didn't help enough to overcome the devastation of the ban.

There is also a lot more in Maine that has been published as well. A LOT more.

And with the January ban coming to finish off the Bars and Taverns, the list will grow much longer.
