I don't know anything about this curfew.
Would somebody please fill in the blanks. What curfew? Who's curfewed? How long has this been going on? By what law or ordinance can they shut things down?

Curfew, by the way, comes from the french, meaning "to cover the fire." That was the time of night that authorities covered the lights to indicate that people should be off the street.
In my home town of Weirton, West Virginia, they sounded all the fire whistles at 10 p.m. to tell people under 16 years of age that they had to be off the streets. We always thought that somehow, magically at 10:01 the cops would swoop down out of nowhere and snag us.
