Here in Texas, I'm in a dry city. Have to drive to the next city to get liquor.
I'd love to see that shopping cart

@BRRABill can't be any worse than GA...
Only strange law in GA that I'm aware of is that a beer joint can't be closer than 100 yards to a church property or something like that (but that may just be a city ordinance)...
Because churchgoers and beer....
Eh... Everybody in my town used to go to Bob's Beer, Bait, Tackle & Baptist Church. Go to church, get Beer, Bait, & Tackle. Every 5th Sunday, there's a fish fry out back.

Illinois has plenty of f***ed up problems, but buying alcohol is not one of them. screw all you people I guess I will stay here.
I agree with you Jared. I am going to stay in my Illinois(remember kids there is no noise in Illinois, the s is silent). Our roads might crumble (all construction on roads is coming to a stop if no budget is passed by June 30 which there won't be http://www.bnd.com/news/local/article85091162.html). Before that announcement IDOT was out on TV and radio stations warning that with the upcoming summer heat that roads might buckle and drivers need to be aware of this, I told my wife that is IDOTs way of saying we ain't fixing S#!T drive at your own risk. We are seriously close to bankruptcy (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/could-illinois-be-the-first-state-to-file-for-bankruptcy/). However we can get all the liquor we need or want, right now we need a lot.

Couple towns over from my hometown is a dry town too. So they built the Bowling alley outside city limits.
I live in a dry town... except the gas station sells alcohol... go figure.

How do they get around the ban?

Small town governmental corruption. Not that I agree with the ban... it hurts our town and has driven a few restaurants out. But if you're going to apply a law apply it to everyone.

I left Illinois in 2013, and it was probably one of the best decisions I've made. Initially people were migrating away from the smaller cities and toward larger metropolitan centers. Now they are even leaving Chicago in droves.
I can't imagine the corrupt legislation's answer to the budget crisis (if and when that EVER happens) isn't going to end up being more taxes... Eff that noise.

Also, if you're just staying in Illinois because of the booze, Michigan has WAY better beer and is just across the Lake. You could literally stop in damn near any small town throughout the state and find a decent brewery.
Even if you only consider Three Floyd's brewery in Munster, Indiana has way better beer than Illinois. If you also throw in Upland's wheat they win hands down.
And, well, Wisconsin has always been superior to Illinois in booze and alcoholics.
I can't think of a good reason to move to Iowa, Misery, or any other state to the South...

Upland is an Indiana brewery! But yeah the Michigan and Wisconsin brewing scenes are pretty good. I'm partial to New Glarus' fruit beers not much of anyone out there doing quite the same thing.
Edit: Wow, I'm asleep at the wheel you were talking about Indiana beer in that part of the post...

That was complete sarcasm. Illinois is a shithole.
As I live in Schaumburg, I am in one of the best municipalities in the state.
We'll see how long I can make it before outside pressures force a change.

You do realize where I am from right?
But I can count past 10 without taking off my shows, so I was a prodigy from the region.

San Diego doesn't seem to have a problem selling it in any place with a cash register.

That is the traditional Mason-Dixon line for Illinoisians.

Well, I've got a phone interview for something on Monday. All I know for sure is that it's a 3rd party hiring agency, so could be great or could be horrible, have to see.

Options are nice to have - and if bad,.. you can turn it down.
