[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1755449, member: 21194"] Back about 35 years ago a couple guys showed up at the Whitehall grocery store looking for beer. They had just bought a place a few miles down the road. The man that owned the store told them "I'm sorry, but this is a dry precinct. We can't sell beer here." They looked at each other kinda big-eyed, and one of them said "What have we done?" Then the owner said "If y'all would like a beer I have some in the cooler in the back of my truck. I'll give you some." They felt better then. Shortly after that Grimes County Precinct 3 was voted wet, and the store was sold, so that little store has beer now. By the way, the widow of the man that gave those men the beer started working for the man that owned the store before she and her husband bought it somewhere in the mid '70's, and now she works for the current owner. She's there on her feet 6 hours per day, Monday through Saturday. I don't know exactly how old she is, but she's crowding 90. I doubt very much that she needs the money; she just enjoys working there and visiting with the customers. [/QUOTE]
