Add a honk from here.

“Passing motorists often honk their horns and wave when they see Robin Sutton working in her yard,” says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Why's that, you ask? It's the display in Sutton's back yard.

The Enquirer - Zoning stink wears on:
To wit: 15 toilets sprouting with plastic flowers; dozens of purple, green, brown and white toilet brushes poking up from the lawn, and a host of multicolored pinwheels whirling in the breeze.
Sutton and her partner, Allen Lade, wanted to build a fence. But the township zoning board wouldn't allow it - too “visually imposing,” they said. Ah well.
Paul Drury, Anderson Township's assistant director of development services, said he gets occasional calls about the yard display.

“Most of them are inquiries about why they're allowed to do that,” he said. “We haven't found any zoning violations.”

No no no. The Cincinnati Enquirer. Cincinnati is not national. It's not big enough.
