I was suprised to find out a few years ago that there still are "dry"
towns. A friend lived in Sharon, MA used to complain about having
to drive all the way to Canton, or Walpole to go to a liquor store.
Of course the liquor store owners helped the best that they could
by putting the liquor stores as close to the town border as they
could. (You can see the "Entering Sharon" from the parking lot
of either liquor store.
