The Mounties have been busting more and more large-scale operations, often located in warehouse-size buildings, with strings of light bulbs as bright as stadium lights and computer-controlled hydroponic systems for fertilizing and watering several hundred plants.

The bakery boasts not only the famous Bagel Buzz saw, but a drink menu as well--complete with domestic and imported beer, red and white wine and even champagne. Why bagels and beer? In order to circumvent Square zoning laws that outlaw certain types of chains, the Faneuil Hall-based cafe has been forced to serve up cabernet along with cream cheese. Faced with militant, underage bouncers, sky high prices and a paltry selection, the thirsty bunch had a daunting task before them...
