Map of the Day

Dry America:

National prohibition was finally repealed in 1933, but it never quite died out.
When alcohol regulation was handed back to individual states, many local communities voted to keep the restrictions in place, particularly in the southern Bible Belt.
Today there are still more than 200 "dry" counties in the United States, and many more where cities and towns within dry areas have voted to allow alcohol sales, making them "moist" or partially dry.
The result is a patchwork of dry, wet and moist counties stretching across the south.

I'll start a campaign: Let's Make Ohio Wet!

Counties are classified as "partially dry" where wet communities exist within dry counties, or where dry communities exist within wet counties. The exact definition of wet and dry differs between states.

Let's make Ohio fully wet.  Wayne Wheeler is dead and gone (and not missed).  Dry communities are stagnant communities.  Let's promote growth and jobs and make Ohio a good place to live.  A place where we all can enjoy life.  Who's on board?
