The Law Explained

In this famous college town, students loved moving their living room couches onto porches and lawns for massive parties. The town council eventually banned the practice, citing it as an eyesore and a severe fire hazard after a string of post-game couch burnings. Wicker and plastic lawn chairs are your only legal options now.
