Some chefs are not only buying locally but actually growing the food.

Although similar lights were found in ten other cities, nowhere else did the police spend nearly $750,000 to disrupt traffic and arrest two twenty-year-olds who would only respond to reporters’ questions having to do with human hair. The Portland, Ore. police department quietly removed the objects that they considered “harmless.” Apparently, unlike the BPD, Portland police aren’t drawn en masse toward bright shiny lights.
