| 词条 | Madam's Organ Blues Bar |
| 释义 |
HistoryIn 1992, it opened as a blues and bluegrass bar. Madam's Organ moved to its present location in 1997, after a temporary closure.[10] This location once housed the original Children's Supermart store, which was opened by Charles Lazarus in 1948 and later became the Toys "R" Us retail chain.[10] ControversyMadam's Organ features a large outdoor mural, which depicts "The Madam", the bar's burlesque mascot. The bar's owner, Bill Duggan, says he commissioned the mural as an artwork, but the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs ruled it an advertisement because it includes the name of the establishment. In court, the owner refused to remove the wording from the breasts, claiming that to do so would only further expose 9' by 13' breasts. Since Madam's Organ did not have a permit for the mural, the bar owner was fined. The case remains in the Court of Appeals.[11] References1. ^{{cite news|title=The other side of D.C.: Get away from the politicians and monuments and discover a Washington of neighbourhoods where people live, work, play |author=Reffes, Melanie |publisher=The Gazette (Montreal) |date=March 20, 2004}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Band Keeps D.C.
