That's right.
I live in a county in West TX that is 'wet' but our precinct is dry.
It's a 30-mile round trip to the nearest available beer/wine store.
I personally don't mind, as I drink very little, but I wonder if it came up for a vote if things would change.
It used to be that Baptist sent their children to Hardin Simmons University in Abiline because the nearest known sin (a wet precinct) was 60 miles away.
"If it came up for a vote", we are a nation of the people.
Politicians try to exert too much power.
As to the Heights remaining dry, I think some residents see it as a quaint tradition more than a moral issue.
I think all of Smith County is dry...
I remember my FIL from Wisconsin was standing in the check out line with me at the Brookshire's in Tyler and saying "Oh, wait...I need to go get some beer." He turned around to walk off and I said "Ok, but you've got a mighty long walk!"
He looked at me with complete shock and amazement...I just thought it was so funny!
