Yeppers I know all about Green River. Most all my relations live there. Green River is also home to an intergalactic spaceport I kid you not. The mayor of Green River sent this in as a airport listing to FAA as a joke, and it still exists to this day, complete with dirt runway, rocks beer bottles, cans and what not. No planes can possibly land here.

Back with TBS still showed The Andy Griffith Show. -- Allan ----------------- With all the talk about the Green River ordinance lately, it was interesting that the episode where it was mentioned was on WTBS this evening. I am a legal student, and looked up the Green River ordinance just to check it out. Here it is: 'Ordinance No. 175. 'Be It Ordained by the Town Council of the Town of Green River, Wyoming: 'Section 1. The practice of going in and upon private residences in the Town of Green River, Wyoming, by solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, itinerant merchants and transient vendors of merchandise, not having been requested or invited so to do by the owner or owner occupant or occupants of said private residences for the purpose of soliciting orders for the sale of goods, wares and merchandise, and/or for the purpose of disposing of and/or peddling or hawking the same, is hereby declared to be a nuisance, and punishable as such nuisance as a misdemeanor. 'Section 2. The Town Marshal and Police Force of the Town of Green River are heareby required and directed to suppress the same, and to abate any such nuisance as is described in the first section of this ordinance. 'Section 3. Any person convicted of perpetrating a nuisance as described and prohibited in the first section of this ordinance, upon conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum not less than Twenty-five ($25.00) Dollars or more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), together with costs of proceedings, which said fine may be satisfied, if not paid in cash, by execution against the person of anyone convicted of committing the misdemeanor herein prohibited. 'Section 4. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed. 'Section 5. It being deemed by the Town Council of the Town of Green River that an emergency exists, this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage and approval. 'Passed this 16th day of November, 1931.' **The Fuller Brush Co. challenged this case and it was sent to the Supreme Court which upheld the ordinance as valid.
