From MercuryNews.com :

"For more than half a century, an obscure town ordinance made it illegal to use a pinball, marble or claw machine in Los Altos Hills.

This past week, the town council rolled back that section of its municipal code few even knew existed.

It was a misdemeanor to operate one of the machines in a commercial setting, town planner Brian Froelich said. The pinball machines of the 1950s were considered gambling devices because they typically dispensed coins to players, he said, probably the reason for the ban."

It took them 50 years to un-ban pinball machines?  Geez, I wonder if you can dance in Los Altos Hills.
