Beer is now legal!!
Beer has not been legal in our county since 1937. We have had wine and whisky for years, but no beer. You can get stopped and have a bottle of vodka and a can of beer on your seat, and you will get a $250 ticket for the beer!
Everyone has been afraid to bring it up for a vote since they were afraid all alcohol would go on the ballot and all drink would be voted out. Sort of like the Supreme Court and gun laws.
Anyway, a petition was floated this year and got enough signatures to have it on the ballot. Had to have a special election which took place yesterday. The pro beers had a good turnout with 65% for.
According to the poor preachers, we are all going to hell for something that 99.9% of the free world takes for granted. God only knows what they will preach about Sunday, maybe something like actual sin?
This has caused many very hard feelings in this county since some of the citizens think a beer sign is a sign of the devil!
Most of our supervisors are anti beer so whatever rules they draft up will be anti beer sales, but they can also be voted out of office nex time around.
I personally have not had a beer in months, but will have to have a couple, or three, to celebrate. Tom

here in utah kinda funny i think....(but i don't drink) the state liquor store is closed on election day(s) 0 -
over here you go to any gas station and you can pick up a six pack! 0 -
I imagine the chain gas places are geared up since they have the cooiers and space available.
don't know how many individual liceneses will be granted. It should not tale over a couple of weeks to get the ball rossing tho. I believe any delay will be met with strong opposition.
A few weeks ago a restaurant (we don't have many good ones here) p;osted their menu on an outside billboard. Code compliance made him take it down. He went around town and found about 15 outside billboards, Which had not been ordered down. Back to codecompliance and the reason he was singled out, his billbopard had a beer logo on it!!! We have some of the most narrow minded people in the world right here. I just can'twait top load my truck down and make it a point to visit all my neighbors,.
Tell you how bad it is, my brother runs a convenience store in Flo rence AL and a cousin run a travel agence just a few blocks away. They have not visited his store sice he sells beer there.0 -
Two weeks ago in the election they legalized beer in my little town, Marshall North Carolina. 0 -

I think it's funny. Several years ago I visited some of the ex's family who lived in a dry county in Ky. Not thinking about it being a dry county we took along a 12 pk and was setting on the porch "imbibing". The law showed up and after a lecture confiscated the 3 cans that was left. Seems "someone" had called in and complained. Found out later it was the local "bootlegger"! (there's at least one in every dry county. go figgur) I guess he saw competition in a once a year visit.

I thought a dry town meant that you just could not buy liquor in the town, not that you couldn't consume it there?
