From the article...

The City Council in recent months has been trying to clean up Tuscaloosa's university image by banning late-night alcohol sales in bars and prohibiting the use of indoor furniture out of doors.


Well, I'm sure if they just got rid of THAT HUGE UNIVERSITY THERE that the problem would just go away...lol...

Did Ya'll see the part about "banning the use of indoor furniture outdoors"?
No more sofas on the front porch!
It's a school town, those "leaders" need to get a clue.

things must be pre-e-e-tty slow in tuscaloosa if they're actually holding meetings about indoor furniture in the outdoors...or maybe it's a rampant problem...
what about outdoor furniture indoors? do i have to get rid of my inflatable pool in the living room?

It's okay...it happens.

As for Tuscaloosa, it probably is a widespread problem. I'm guessing the real problem isn't the couches so much as the fact that it's more comfortable to drink openly on the front porch sitting on a couch than sitting on outdoor furniture. Legislators in the South have a long history of enacting seeming stupid laws concerning one thing to try and fight another thing, rather than admit they have a problem with the thing they're trying to fight. Does that make sense?

Oh, and they're probably only enforcing the law in the neighborhoods where there are a lot of houses rented to college kids. I'm guessing that MeeMaw and Papaw can still have their old sofa on the front porch if they want to.

Reminds me of the official reason for making topless dancers wear pasties in Abilene, TX: So that pubic hair from the dancer's nipples won't fall in customer's drinks. Makes it a health issue, dontcha know!

I can understand the porch furniture deal. I used to rent out a house in a college town. I’d put “no furniture on the porch” in the lease. I sure didn’t want irate phone calls from the neighbors or special attention from code enforcement.

lol gremlin, yes they do. You would probably like Tuscaloosa, at least to visit, as there is a high concentration of young and willing females going to the uni there.

Joe Powell is an idiot.. trust me.. I worked at a daycare in Tuscaloosa where I kept his son for 2 years. He's a lawyer and a highly educated man but as far as common sense goes, he has none. He sent pink swimmy underware for his 2 year old son to wear. Even the son knew this wasn't right and pitched a fit and refused to wear the pink. "Pink is for girls" was his comment.

If the name passed to get their business license, I don't see anything wrong with it. The name is not nearly as offensive as what the students wear on their t-shirts there. Tuscaloosa is just falling apart since I left.

I was disturbed by the fact that they banned the furniture on front porches. Some of my favorite nights spent with my friends were spent on a couch that was on a balcony. Guess what their reasoning was? They said when it rains there the furniture absorbs water and causes a mosquito problem. I say they are just all party poopers and want the students to study instead of partying.
