"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Taxarkana is half dry, half not, or used to be anyway. I don't recall which side is which, but they used various dodges on the "dry" side. I went into a restaurant there once and the hostess walked me through a door with a "Members only beyond this point" sign and I nervously asked how one became a member.
"Oh, by walkin' through that door" she replied.
Their main post office is on the border, so half is in the TX and the other is in AR. I have no idea which state your mail is postmarked in.
I was warned about that little bit of interstate in Georgia, they had a law regarding semis (a length limit or something, I don't remember) and would take your trailer, ship it back to your truck yard collect via rail and give you a big fine.

ReplyDeleteI loved this. I have a brain full of trivia anyway, so this is a wonderful addition to my collection.
ReplyDeleteI was particularly intrigued by that little dollop of Kentucky that's cut off from the rest of the state.
