Wet towns not the paradises made out to be

Response to: Thinks a winery in Adair Co KY would be loverly

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Why do people move into a community and then try to make it like the place they came from. If they don't like the way we live, then go somewhere more to their liking.

I have lived in wet towns and they are not the paradise they are made out to be. We do not need to go wet.

There are many more people who feel as I do.

Thanks. Your name need not be published. Your letter makes it across the Civil Discourse standard, though I disagree adamantly that we should tell these well meaning people to move on; we need them, if only for the money they bring - and spend; and some of us find their quare ways funnier than British sitcoms, and a few of them do know how to make real good wine - we hear.


Momma would have agreed with you. She resented selling lemon extract at L.R. Chelf's in Knifley, KY, because it had high alcohol content in it. And the late Pete Walker always told us, in the Columbia Baptist Church Sunday School class, that drinking was wrong. The way he explained it, "They say you can drink in moderation, but I want to ask you, 'Can you kill in moderation?'" One could not argue with that wisdom. It was a lesson well learned, and I never knew of Cousin Pete ever buying any alcoholic beverage.

If any ever made it into his possesion it was forced on him by wicked friends, was consumed to help the law trim inventory when they raided bootleggers.
