More evidence of the Godfrey administration's effort to convert Ogden's formely rawdy cultural climate to that of Provo, Utah:
• Rally for Ogden strip club / Lounge workers and supporters worry city will close business(And yes, we checked. According to this unassailably reliable source, we're able to confirm that "there are no strip clubs located in Provo, Utah.")
We recently reported that Ogden scored fifth from last in the nation on Portfolio.com's 4/26/10 fun index, while rival city Provo finished dead last, which no doubt left Boss Godfrey mightily irked.
The Std-Ex reports that the Lighthouse Lounge has filed for an extension of time, in order to to help recuperate costs for the owners, and "now Mayor Matthew Godfrey will decide whether the lounge must close immediately or if it gets an extension."
Anybody want to take a wild guess on how Godfrey will handle this matter?
Never mind; we'll take our own wild guess:
The "Blessed Thumb" of "Blessed Boss Godfrey"So much for "the colorful history that Ogden city has had in the past."
Sadly, "Milquetoast" is the new cultural theme in Ogden, which used to be the most vibrant American city between Denver and San Francisco.
And now... we're emulating Provo?
Oh my!
Go figure.
