Ruling Stops Need for Small Film Permits at National Parks

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — The National Park Service has changed its nationwide permit requirements so that commercial filmmakers no longer have to pay fees or seek clearance as long as shoots are not in the wilderness and remain small.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported that the change, which was announced last week, is limited to national parks and came after a court in Washington ruled in January that the fees were unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a permanent injunction halting the filming requirements after she found the fees could have a chilling effect for a wide swath of visitors to national parks.

The Most Expensive Neighborhoods in Cheyenne

Cheyenne, like any city, is made up of many different neighborhoods. While none of them are as famous as SoHo in New York City or Five Points in Denver, Wyoming's capital city has about 20 neighborhoods that its nearly 65 thousand residents live in.

Neighborhood Scout scoured the information on the Chey-town neighborhoods that make up the 32.37 square miles of the city to find where the most expensive places are to live. We're talking about real estate here, not the price of milk or anything. That kind of stuff is pretty uniform across the city.
