Asheboro, NC, is no longer dry!

Date 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.
