The Law

In the state's capital, strolling the sidewalks while bowing a fiddle was once considered a massive distraction to horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles. The city implemented this ordinance to curb street performers from creating traffic jams and noise complaints. If you want to practice your concerto, you will have to do it from the comfort of a stationary position.
