You cannot eat a watermelon inside the Magnolia Street Cemetery.

The Law Explained

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, local graveyards were occasionally treated like public parks where people would host picnics. Disrespectful visitors were apparently leaving slippery, rotting watermelon rinds all over the headstones in the Magnolia Street Cemetery. To stop the sticky vandalism, the city banned the fruit from the burial grounds entirely.
