A friend of mine (neighbor of M&T) wrote last week concerning a real property matter in Henderson County, Texas, of which my hometown Athens is the county seat.
She wrote back to let me know that the neighboring town of Malakoff (about 10 miles west of Athens and where her property is) had gone somewhat wet: beer and wine retail sales and by the drink liquor in restaurants.
Per the Athens Daily Review the vote was perilously close:
Opponents of the proposition allowing the sale of beer and wine for off premise consumption are not likely to contest its successful passage, First Baptist Church of Malakoff Pastor Nathan Lorick said Thursday. The measure passed by a margin of 331-316 [emph. mine!] on Nov. 4.
Thank heavens, now Mom won’t have to drive all the way (20 miles) to Gun Barrel City to get her box of rosé.
