A Criminal Performance

What happens when Flint's baggy pants ordinance collides with a Flint Community Players' production of "The Full Monty"?

The city gets to look absolutely ridiculous, of course.

"Strictly speaking, City Attorney Trachelle Young acknowledges that flashing the audience from the stage isn't much different from flashing someone on the street.

"'There are no exemptions for the theater,' she [told Bryn Mickle of The Flint Journal.]"

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
