Riverfront Liquors Under New Ownership





















Riverfront Liquors on Claiborne Avenue is now under the ownership of Greenwood's own man-about-town, John Stewart.

Everyone's favorite hometown liquor store, Riverfront Liquors, reopened today under new ownership.

John Stewart, partner in Webster's Food and Drink, finalized the paperwork for the transfer this morning. "I am excited about the possibilities we have with Riverfront Liquors" he stated.

Over the past few months, the stock of wines and liquors had depleted under the previous owner. With new ownership and a new sense of pride comes the opportunity to return Riverfront to its glory days of old.

Stewart noted that his first order of business will be to "dress the place up a little" so that the store feels more inviting. A fresh coat of paint and a window display may be just the ticket for giving the place some much-needed curb appeal.

The main improvement, however, will the the noticeable increase in the amount of product in stock. A large order has already been placed with the suppliers and bottles of your favorite brand should be packing the shelves as early as next week.

When asked about his trademark blue vodka, Stewart noted that there should be plenty in fresh supply next week. "It's on order and should arrive sometime in the next few days. We won't let the citizens of Greenwood down as far as blue vodka is concerned."

Stewart also revealed that their target market is going to be the average consumer. "We want to cater to the mainstream boozer" he said. "We'll have what you want on the shelves and we'll offer it to you at an affordable price."

Riverfront Liquors is located at 201 West Claiborne Avenue in Greenwood. They are open from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday - Wednesday and from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. Thursday - Saturday. They can be reached by telephone at 453-8979.

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
