This is the kind of thing that I personally hate ---------"gray areas" of society. A sign saying NO DOGS (not service animals) and a manager effectively saying something else - it is OK. Another "gray area" in the village is what the H___ is the top speed allowed for golf carts on the streets. It seems to be ANYWHERE between 15 and 40 mph.
