Coal Run Goes Wet...Elkhorn Remains Dry
It's plain that Tuesday's wet/dry election in Coal Run put an end to Pikeville being the only city in Pike County to allow alcohol sales. North of Pikeville, residents in Coal Run approved, by a vote of 218-137, to allow restaurants to serve alcohol by the drink in conjunction with a meal purchase, while 70% of their revenue would come from food sales. On the other side of Pikeville, residents in Elkhorn City decided they'd remain dry. A measure to allow alcohol sales within city limits was voted down in a vote of 357-163.
