What's the point of banning alcohol sales? Doesn't that just mean that members of those towns will go outside their town to spend their money and get what they need? Seems bad from an economic standpoint.
What is interesting is that these towns do not appear to be a vestige of the prohibition of the 1930s. Most of them have been legally dry for less than 30 years.
I suspect that most of these towns were functionally dry anyway and a local enterpriser wanted to open a gas station or convenience store that sold alcohol. The local community did not want their local crossroad to become a destination for the county's drunks, whatever economic boon that might sacrifice. I suspect these little burgs are mainly populated by families belonging to a conservative church, too.
