Bethany, OK, has drawn a fat blue line around its city limits to keep its residents from unknowingly visiting businesses outside city boundaries.
"A fat blue line painted along the city limits is supposed to help this town's bottom line.The point of the 18-inch-wide stripe is to make it obvious to shoppers where Bethany ends and neighboring Oklahoma City and Warr Acres begin.The cash-strapped town, desperate for sales tax dollars, is trying to keep its residents from mistakenly driving outside the jagged city boundaries to dine, shop or get their cars fixed."
