I grew up in Union City. Reelfoot was an every Sunday thing for a LONG time because you could buy beer there on Sunday and you couldn't anywhere else. They also have (had) stores right on the water with a drive thru for boats. Because when you ran out of beer, the fishing was turrible. They also used to have signs at the Samburg city limits warning non whites not to be in town after dark. The prison over in Tiptonville used to give prisoners "town passes" if they had good behavior. Nobody ever took off though that I know of.
