The county in KY in which I live was dry when we moved here six years ago. In fact, the county just north of us is the first “wet” county a traveler encounters if they are headed north from the Tennessee border.

So, right at the county line is a liquor store called the “fist stop”. And if you are coming from the wet county and driving into the dry county, the sign says “last stop”.

The guy that owns that place is one of the biggest opponents of my county going wet. go figure. :)

BTW, our county went “moist” a few years ago and last november the main town in the county went wet. heh.

Kentucky STILL does two of the stupidest things this country ever came up with: School bussing and prohibition. The head of the state police said that if the entire state went wet, meth use would go down by 25%.

Since our formerly DRY county in Arkansas went WET, several stores and honky tonks have closed on the Oklahoma side of the line. Casinos still going strong there.
