Parts of Texas were like that growing up. That was actually pretty much the rule, not the exception. Ha. Parts of Texas were like that growing up.

Imagine not being able to buy liquor at all. I wandered around their grocery store forever looking for the wine one day. This is also the place that has a Baptist church every mile. We were spoiled in Tampa I guess. if you drive 5 miles away into the next county here in NC you will find a dry county. Imagine not being able to buy liquor at all.

In Florence County the Wal Mart is roped off on Sunday-- food and non food. It is pretty ridiculous. Those of us that live here just have stocked pantries and we know to get to the store before midnight on Saturday! Last call is at midnight on Saturday as well. We also only can buy liquor from sunup to sundown in a red dot store-- none at any other store. We don't do mini bottles, that was repealed on a statewide level last year.

We don't have alcohol on Sundays here either, though you CAN buy beer. (Though not 6 point, which you have to get at a liquor store...which are all closed on Sundays.) They legalized tattoos just a few months after we did...which was only about a year ago. Before that, we had to go over state line to get one. We're so, so proud.

Really? No liquor on Sundays? I'm going to have to verify this. You should've trekked about an hour and a half south to Summerville. We gots lots of places to have liquor on Sunday. I wonder if they still use mini bottles up there too. What? Really? No liquor on Sundays? I’m going to have to verify this. You should’ve trekked about an hour and a half south to Summerville.

What strikes me as odd is that you can go to a bar and get some takeaway liquor on Sundays instead. What's up with that? In Germany, we have no such laws, but most stores are closed on Sunday. So we just go to the gas stations, where they even sell hard liquor and are more lenient when it comes to age verification. Also, some clubs in Germany don't allow dancing on Good Friday.

What about that name says booze and football to you? More like lemonade and canasta. Maybe Florence is just living up to it's name. Florence. What about that name says booze and football to you?
