| Description | It's one of the few areas left in the Tennessee Valley where it's still illegal to buy a glass of liquor. But, there's now a push to change the liquor laws in Rhea County.
Teresa Fuller has lived in Rhea County for 20 years. She says, "Everybody's got it but here, and they ain't never had it here."
The streets of Rhea County offer small shops, places to sit and play checkers, and drinks like speciality coffees, even fruit smoothies. But if you're looking for a liquor drink, you won't find it.
That's why Roger Jaquette is trying to bring liquor by the drink to restaurants in Spring City and Dayton, also bringing franchises, jobs, and money. "The people of Rhea County are going to gain from it and the cities, it's going to bring the money in and keep the money in, that thousands are going out every month."
Now this push comes in Dayton, a city that's shared by Bryan College, a Christian University founded by William Jennings Bryan, one of many in the area very much against the sale of alcohol. |
