In 1953 in a small town named Fort Smith Arkansas, a city ordinance was passed banning the operation of public dance halls or any place with dancing on Sundays.
Sound familiar? It should sound exactly like the 1984 movie starring Kevin Bacon about a town that banned dancing and rock music.
Officials in a western Arkansas city say residents can finally kick off their Sunday shoes. Yup, city directors recently repealed the law which locals who knew about it called it the “Footloose” ordinance.
