Asheboro, NC, is no longer dry!
July 30, 2008
Asheboro, the town I grew up in, was the largest dry city in the state of North Carolina — until yesterday. Yes, after years and years of the alcohol referendums failing at the polls, people can now actually order a drink at a restaurant instead of literally brown-baggin it.
There were some who were not so happy, however. Dr. John Rogers, opposed to the referendum, said, “This outcome illustrates our war with our culture that is so saturated, particularly with alcohol.”
As for me, I say, “Cheers!”
Stumble it!

This got very ugly in Asheboro, NC. Who knew that anyone here really cared about anything and would be willing to come out and vote. Very happy with the out come. My kids, young adult age, say there is not anything to do here, hope that changes.

I remember the days following that decision, it was a very weird time for me. I just recently moved here from Las Vegas last February and was really amazed how excited people were for alcohol. People at work was even more strange. The older people was very unhappy that alcohol was voted in and younger people was very happy that it was. I ask one of the older people why, she said that ” I think people should spend there money on their family instead of alcohol”. All I thought was that ” you have no right to tell people what they can’t spend on with there hard working money! ” I couldn’t say that out loud because here if you expressed different opinion they will never talk to you again. well, thats another subject. thank you

Well, here’s the way I see it. No more drinking than before. No more fighting than before. The rich got their foot on the neck and the rest of us on de flor.
You dig?
We’re getting used.
A big set-up.
You better have (in this order):
1. Faith
2. Family
3. Firearm(s)
4. A sense of humor
Natch.
