real life imitates art

A small town in Oklahoma has to cancel a Valentine's Day dance because of an old city ordinance that says a dance cannot be within 500 feet of a place of worship.  The planned dance would've been within 300 feet of a church.  The mayor knew about the ordinance but it has never been enforced before.  And the police chief says that he has no intention of enforcing it now.  The city council will move to abolish the ordinance during their February 22 meeting.  Wonder if they can find a warehouse outside of town for the dance.  footloose story
