First Legal Liquor Store
On August 6, 1966, the first legal liquor store in Mississippi following
prohibition opened here. The "Jigger & Jug," owned by the Azar brothers,
was a prototypical self-serve package liquor store. Mississippi, which had
banned the manufacturing and sale of alcohol in 1907, was the last state to end
prohibition. ~ text of marker
