Buffalo's youth curfew has been on the books for nearly 15 years, but not often enforced.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Miniskirts are back in vogue. So are halter tops, skinny jeans and patterned tights. On a 20-year-old, those items are cute and trendy. On her mother, they likely look more trashy than trendy. On her grandmother, they’re simply ridiculous.
