      You’d be drinking too if 50 of your neighbors were cops.

      You usually see that in towns just on the county line where the neighboring county is dry (no hard liquor sales allowed).

      Most counties are doing away with the dry laws but it’s an old system that still hangs around in odd ways

      I’m surprised it’s only two, honestly. I bet there are three churches.

    Fun fact, there are people that think Texas is the best state in the world.

      I’m guessing they are probably from Texas and have never been anywhere else

      Last time I was there, it was hot and miserable. Everyone was super far away with long stretches of highway to get anywhere.

      The food was good though.

        Yeah, and Dallas is just one massive strip mall. I don’t know why people like Texas so much. I get dystopian vibes when I’m there.

    Coffee City used to be on the border of a dry county (that county is no longer dry since a couple of years ago).
