The front yard of neighbors' discontent
Check out Larry Carson's story today about an, ah, unusual front yard in Howard County's Sykesville community. It is, depending on your perspective, either hilarious or horrible (with neighbors opting for the latter):
Stuffed animals and signs, some with religious slogans, cover virtually the entire yard, the house and the carport. Used-car-lot-style pennants run between trees.Plastic reindeer. Smiley faces painted on the driveway. Lampshades tied to bushes. And, protruding from what had been the mailbox support, a bent plastic middle finger. Draped above it is a foot-long belt of rusted bullet shells.

Doesn't the county have an ordinance requiring people to cut their grass? It's a developed neighborhood, not farmland, and you don't have to get into aesthetics to know that the tall grass visible in the photos could harbor mosquitoes and rodents.
