... and that was at a public park in Connecticut.
The Dublin Girls have developed quite a reputation around southeast Georgia. They’ve run road races dressed up like Chick-fil-A cows and superheroes. And it’s not all that unusual to see the ladies accessorizing their running attire with tutus and feather boas.
A few weeks ago the Dublin Girls had gathered inside the local mall for an evening power walk. They formed a small circle and as they had done many times before, they bowed their heads to petition the Almighty.
But before one of the runners could say, “Lord Jesus,” she was interrupted by a mall cop barreling down a corridor.
“The security guard came running toward us and said, ‘You are not allowed to pray at the mall. That’s against the policy,’” Tammy told me.
I especially enjoyed this exchange:
"They won’t even allow patrons to ask God to bless General Tso’s chicken at the food court’s Chong Wah Express. 'I said, sir, are you saying that people who eat in the food court can’t bow their heads and pray?' she said. “He said, ‘No ma’am.’ That’s exactly what he said.'"
