This Liquor store is more than just a place that sells alcohol and cigars. Cannegie is a place with lots of history, open for more than 50 years and th first liquor store of its kind on the Dutch side of the island. The traditional wooden-style building sits charmingly between two modern structures in the heart of Philipsburg, just steps away from the monumental, pineapple-topped Courthouse.
I can recall when a bottle of Beefeater Gin was sold for $1.50 US and it was actually cheaper than Windex window cleaner back in 1963
This is a funny one I once saw this cleaning lady polishing a sliding glass door of the then Little Bay hotel, I said to her what are you doing washing windows with GIN?
She said it's cheaper than Windex and it gives a better shine.
So there.
