Cars must go in garage, judge says : Lincoln, NE Journal Star

Cars must go in garage, judge says : Lincoln, NE Journal Star: When the tow truck driver hoisted Matt Catlett's BMW onto his truck one summer day in 2012, he didn't know it, but he'd driven into the middle of a brewing feud.

Catlett, a Lincoln lawyer, didn't park somewhere he shouldn't have on a Husker game day. Nor did he forget to feed a meter.

He parked in his own driveway.

That violated a Bishop Square Inc. covenant, and the homeowners association for the townhouse development just south of the Country Club of Lincoln called for the tow truck.

Condo association tries to make cancer survivor remove pink ribbon | Odd News - Yahoo News

Condo association tries to make cancer survivor remove pink ribbon | Odd News - Yahoo News: 16 years ago, Naples, Florida resident Linda Karp successfully overcame her breast cancer diagnosis. Since then, the pink ribbon has been a symbol of great importance and meaning to her, so she displays it in the window of her home. Apparently, the homeowners association of Regent Park does not care for that, according to WFTX FOX 4 News .

Linda, who has been renting the home she lives in for the last three years, says she was told the pink ribbon violates the rules. Those rules don’t make sense to her. She told WFTX, “I'm not offending anyone. My neighbors are all supportive of breast cancer [sic]. I don't know why they’re not." On top of that, the ribbon is actually inside Ms. Karp’s home, affixed to the, “inside of [Linda’s] entryway.”
