“We’ve all been breaking the law a long time,” Duluth alderwoman Roz Randorf said about a Prohibition-era section of the city code requiring establishments to obtain special licenses if they both want to serve alcohol and allow public dancing.

If that kind of law reminds you of a certain Kevin Bacon movie, you’re not alone: Randorf calls a proposed amendment “the Footloose ordinance.” The Duluth News Tribune, to which Randorf spoke, reports that the amendment will be read before the Duluth City Council on Monday before the council votes on it two weeks later.

According to the Duluth News Tribune, Code Compliance Officer Ian Johnson noticed the provision, which was enacted in 1925 and never repealed - although it stopped being enforced long ago, as you may have noticed if you’ve ever gone out to hit the Zenith City bars.
