Stripped of the bras that decorated the tavern's ceiling for nearly half a century, the Holler House looked mighty naked.

But on Thursday, justice was restored to the universe. A ridiculous city order to ban the bras as a fire hazard was rescinded.

"Oh my goodness, we won," cried Marcy Skowronski, the always colorful 87-year-old owner of the south side bar. "We're going to have a party to throw the bras back up."

...

"We've had bras hanging here for 45 years. It's been a charm of the place. So here comes this gal, and she's walking in here like Lady Astor's pet horse, you know, and she says she wants those bras down because they're a fire hazard. Now how can a bra be a fire hazard unless someone is wearing it? Honest to God."

"Lady Astor's pet horse". Bwwwwaaaaahaaaaaaaa.

1. Well, wasn't bra-burning widespread in the mid to late 20th century?

Possibly they're afraid it will break out spontaneously?

2. LOL!

I hope I'm half as feisty as Marcy Skowronski when I'm elderly. I think that Lady Astor's pet horse just didn't like the bras hanging up.
