Wet at Last
Californians may not have legalized
pot, but it looks like Dallasites have legalized
alcohol. Based on results from 76 percent of precincts,
The Dallas Morning
News reports that Proposition 1, which allows grocery and
convenience stores throughout the city to sell beer and wine (even
in formerly dry areas), was supported by two-thirds of voters. The
paper does not seem to have numbers for Proposition 2, a companion
measure that allows restaurants throughout the city to serve you a
cocktail without making you join a "private club," but I assume the
results are similar. Good riddance to
this monstrosity:

Dallas wets itself. Since when is that news?

Still can't buy the hard booze in the grocery store.

It's obnoxious. You have to drive out of Dallas or Collin for liquor in most places.

But I probably still can't by liquor in Plano...

Nope. Even here just north of George Bush and the Tollway it's still technically Collin County but Dallas city, so no drinky.

Groovy. Remember visiting the DFW area and learning about that dumb law.

What about Granbury? I spent a few months there about 10 years ago and I was completely flummoxed by the ridiculous "private club" rule at restaurants. Especially when I could buy beer at the local supermarket near my hotel.

A stimulus that will actually work as stores and restraints buy equipment, stock and hire more employees to stay competitive.
