Saloons in Bexar County Face Dry-Zone Shutdown Plans
The 10 mile dry zone will shutter over 300 saloons in Bexar County, with only a few converting to soft drink stands or restaurants. Despite some opposition, most saloonmen anticipate minimal organized resistance as many seek new jobs or relocate. Buckhorn and other noted bars plan to convert to drinkless venues. leases along Houston Street may be canceled. Authorities expect the zone law to extend across Southwest Texas, closing many establishments in towns outside incorporated areas unless new votes pass.
