The Law

In Grand Haven, the rolling of wooden or metal hoops with a stick was a wildly popular children's game in the 19th century. However, discarded hoops became a major tripping hazard for horses and early bicycles. The city clamped down on the resulting street clutter with this highly specific nuisance ordinance.
