Teenage Cruising in Downtown Anoka, MN Became Illegal in the 1980's!

Teenagers had been cruising around in their cars all across the USA from the 1950's until the 1990's, when everything changed. Back in the summer of 1989, the first of many new laws began banning people from cruising the city streets in the cars with no particular place to go. As an angry Cruiser, I contacted our local TV News department at KSTP CH. 5, and tipped them off to the new ordinance. Here is the segment. This was the beginning of the end of a great teenage pastime here in Minnesota.
