Curt 1 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 What year is it again, 2006?? http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/01/13/beer.ban.ap/index.html WESTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- The central Ohio city of Westerville, once known as the "dry capital of the world," is dry no more. A pizza parlor on Thursday became the first establishment in Westerville's uptown business district to legally serve a beer since 1875. "Here's to a new tradition in Westerville," local jeweler Bill Morgan said as he raised his plastic cup of Budweiser at Michael's Pizza. Westerville's temperance history dates back 131 years, when the town's saloon was blown up during what's known as the "Whiskey Wars." The Anti-Saloon League moved its headquarters to Westerville in 1909, and the city became known as the "dry capital of the world." Link to post Share on other sites
