A club in Kansas City is having a hard time getting the city to issue an entertainment license so they can book bands to perform. The problem? The bar is too close to SGI:

The city's Regulated Industries makes it virtually impossible to open a music venue within 300 feet of a church. What church is within 300 feet of 19th and Broadway, you ask? Why, a local branch of Soka Gakkai International (SGI), a Buddhist organization. It's in the low-slung, whitewashed building across 19th to the south of the bar. I'd parked in its lot many a time in Jilly's' heyday and never realized it was a Buddhist church. (Hidey-ho there, Gautama!)

SGI does not object to granting the license, but the city won't do it. Link.
