The fact we waste so much time creating and discussing rules governing "OPEN" flags (and chalkboards) outside of businesses would be comical if it weren't such a great example of a symptom of the problem here.
In Portland they fine you if you don't shovel the sidewalk outside your business in some certain timely and standard fashion. That's about the only dumber thing I've ever heard than regulating "OPEN" flags outside of businesses. We should not wish to be in Portland's company in this regard.
