Title: Town rejects 'Sopranos' filming permit (AP)
Description:

Customers leave Holsten's Brookdale Confectionary store in Bloomfield, N.J., Wednesday, March 7, 2007. Bloomfield officials rejected a permit this week to shoot a scene for the acclaimed mob television drama ''The Sopranos,'' here because the mayor and council members say the show depicts Italian-Americans in a poor light. Now, the town has agreed to reconsider the permits at a meeting next Monday. (AP Photo/Mike Derer)AP - The producers of "The Sopranos" were denied a permit to film in this North Jersey town because the mayor and some City Council members say the acclaimed HBO series negatively depicts Italian-Americans. The owners of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor selected for the series' final scene, however, said such "personal feelings" shouldn't stand in the way.
