Maybe it is just me..
I actually found one of those color coded maps you're talking about right after my original post so the question was redundant to ask. I have it in my apartment right now so I definitely wouldn't leave home without it

Can you believe that in this day and age there are still such insane laws.. Do they think that every person in that county will refrain from the "demon drink"???

Marion is wet now, but that's nowhere near Perryville. At least you're kind of close to LR there, I guess...

yep, it makes little sense but there are still places all over the country that are dry and others that do not allow liqour on Sundays.

Yeah, I remember encountering that problem after I left the Hot Springs Village tour thing they advertise on tv and was back home in CT. I forgot where I found out about this dry county thing. I never heard of it before when I lived up north. I figured this is america and alcohol is legal everywhere. I figure it's mostly the religious influence down here. Remember: we are in the middle of the bible belt. I said to hell with Perryville and found a house in the city to buy where i'm a stones throw from a damn beer if I want one or two........cases

I was in Wisconsin a few years back and went to a store for just one beer. The clerk told me in Wisconsin you had to buy at least a six pack. I guess Wisconsin has the German influence of heavy beer intake.

What do you think of Diamond Bear Beer there in Little Rock?

well, in Pennyslvania you have to buy at least a case. unless it's at a bar.

I remember wandering the streets of Philadelphia very confused. we couldn't believe it when we went into a bar and they actually sold us a six-pack to go!

I love Diamond Bear. What's funny is I've always lived in wet counties in Arkansas and never even thought about there still being dry counties. I about fell out of my seat when I'd been in Fayetteville for a few months and found out that Benton county, a pretty heavily populated county with all kinds of people living there, was a dry county. (It may very well be the wettest dry county in the state, but why it's still dry baffles me.)

I will most certainly assure you that counties that are dry in this day and age are that way not because of religion, but politics and money.

It can be thinly disguised as being brought on by 'bible thumpers', but trace the funding, which is not hard, and who is spearheading one side or another and why, and you'll see.

Say you live in a subdivision that does not have water, and you've got a "water store" in the subdivision where everybody goes. You are it.

Now, some rocket scientist comes in, and says, "Hey, why don't we run water to everybody's house"?

Yeah, watch out for that abandoned well hole, slick.
