It always tickles me there are such things as "dry" counties. I've gone to
Jonesboro Arkansas a couple of times and you can buy memberships at
restaurants for $5 a year and drink like a fish if you so desire. And the
hotels have bars that are allowed to sell booze. Yet you can't buy so much
as a beer in any store. Drive 20 miles across the county line and the first
thing you encounter (before there's even a gas station) is a liquor store.
LOL

One place John and I went (I think it was in Illinois but I'm not sure now)
there was a restaurant where they could sell drinks on one side of it but
not on the other side. It was built straddling a county line. Go figure.
