1. You could be in Ocean City NJ.

Dry as well and probably just as up tight.

3. We have local option in Texas.

And plenty of babtists that have made many counties a no-fun zone.

I've seen commercials for voting on liquor sales for several communities around Tyler. Tyler is growing quickly and has 100,000 people. It is also dry. I've seen commercials that say that if the town goes wet, it will be Sin City, full of gamblers, drunks and prostitutes.

I can't believe I'm seeing this in the 21st century. Actually, dry counties have more problems with drunk driving accidents b/c people drive to the wet counties, get drunk, and then drive home.

4. That just seems...uncivilized.

5. yaw, that's right

uncivilized...

[cyberswede]

7. Right?

That is unfathomable to me.

It's bad enough that we have to buy beer at a "liquor store" when we visit Minnesota.

In Iowa, we can geet beer practically anywhere, thank heck.

6. that you cant buy Jim Beam or Jack D's in the counties where they are made

is pure nonsense.
They'll let you make, and tax, and put people to work for, Satan's Juice, but you cant buy it and drink it there

Ever since I vacationed in NC one year, I check to see if it's wet or will I need to pack my own in.

8. I spent a lot of time in Owensboro. It was great except on Sunday.

I also spent a lot of time in Irving, TX - totally dry. I learned early on to get my beer and a styrofoam cooler before entering the county. Hotel ice is free.
