My wife Becky was born in Norton, Va. & her Papaw still lives in the Pound, his house is practically a stones throw from the Kentucky border & in the late 40's till not too long ago he had a store off of the highway coming from Ky. that sold wine & beer, well he made a killing because the county in Ky bordering the Pound is a dry county.
You do the math.
Told Becky that her & my G-pa have a lot in common, her Papaw sold beer & wine at his location to those from the dry county & my Poppop was a shine runner back in the mid 30's-early 40's before he joined the Army in 41'.
I'll have to ask her Papaw about his memory about the area since he's lived there nearly all his life & he's 87 now.
Watched some of the show but other things got in the way of me finishing it but my oldest asked me some trivia about the show just last night, I told her that I know the real history from what I've read & heard not much about the show.
