    When I was in college, there was a little mom & pop convenience store where we'd buy beer (of course, we were underaged). When the holidays like July 4th or New Year's rolled around, every kid in a 5-county area knew that was where you could buy any "illegal" fireworks you wanted. I remember the old guy would take us in a back room (where his office was), lock the door behind us, unlock a big metal cabinet and it was like Christmas shopping! We'd buy whateve we wanted and exit through the back door! (my favorite was M-80's) Very clandestine ... but pretty cool, and as far as I know, nobody EVER ratted the old guy out.

    Sounds a lot like a little head shop I used to know about...
