It is unlawful to walk through the city without a smile on your face.

The Law Explained

It is illegal to look gloomy, frown, or display a depressed countenance within city limits. This famously quirky ordinance was passed during a particularly brutal winter in 1948 to boost the morale of snow-battered citizens. The mayor even staged a mock 'hanging' of a gloomy resident to enforce the upbeat mandate.
