In my notoriously liberal county...things I've notcied that are different from the rest of the country I've traveled in:
- some neighborhoods are not allowed to have visible clotheslines
- there is no smoking in any bar or restaurant....ANY
- any public pool, even at hotels and apartments, need a lifeguard on duty to open (b/c we have a lot of lawyers a lot of them transplants from NJ/NY...its cool for college kids who need a part time thats the only plus
- we are not allow to set off our own fireworks on July 4th
- we have a disproportionate amount of speed traps and speed cameras, many of them in obscene places like at the bottom of a huge hill
- supermarkets cannot carry beer or liquor
- a small water main break and hundreds of restaurants are ordered by law to close for a day
- we cannot have drive-thru liquor places (more "conservative" counties and states next to us do)
- in December, public libraries in theri displays can only include winter stuff but not Christmas trees or any Christmas or Hanukah stuff....we don't want to offend them Muslims and athiests do we?
