Park Ridge, Ill.
After 83 years, residents of Park Ridge can legally dress in drag.
The Northwest suburb removed its cross-dressing ban from the books on Oct. 3, an antique law left sitting in the city ordinance since 1928.
"It's just one of those archaic things that never got changed," said City Clerk Betty Henneman.
The cross-dressing ban is one a handful of antiquated and unenforced conduct laws the Park Ridge City Council tossed out in re-writing the city ordinance. Another included a law against swearing in public.
