The owners of Red Door Liquors and Cigars are hoping they can offer a better browsing experience with a space for tastings and other events.
Red Door Liquors and Cigars, which opened in early April, is aiming to be more than just a liquor store where you can pick up a bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer. “We want to help our customers drink smarter,” said Bobbi Pearson, one of the owners of the Eureka business. That mission is represented in what she and the other co-owners said is the variety in their offerings, which expands beyond the usual stock of Budweiser and Captain Morgan. There’s craft beer, bourbon, scotch and even a spirit or two from local distillers, but also a small bar area that is being used for free tastings and pre-paid events, plus a walk-in humidor for cigar aficionados. The business is actually the creation of two couples, Karen and Guy Bopp, and Bobbi …

The Marketplace Fairness Act was approved in the U.S. Senate, and is headed for the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives. The bill would require merchants to collect sales taxes on online purchases.
It's called the "Marketplace Fairness Act" and supporters say it levels the playing field between online retailers and brick-and-mortar stores by requiring online merchants to pay sales taxes to the states, counties and localities where they have done business. Opponents include anti-tax activists and retailers who say it will be overly burdensome—in fact, nearly impossible, they say, to keep track of the tax rates and tax requirements for the myriad of taxing agencies where they may be doing business. The Marketplace Fairness Act passed the U.S. Senate 69-27 on Monday. Next up, the legislation goes to the GOP-led House. President Barack Obama has previously said he supports the bill. Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, voted for …
