Judge Rules in Favor of 'Artistic' Neighbor

The Advertiser reports that State Judge Donald Hebert ruled that Frank Rogers, Jr. can maintain his front yard "art" (such as vibrantly painted shrubbery and trees from which empty bleach bottles and plastic caution ribbons dangle above scarecrows, animal skulls and political signs), but he sympathized with the twenty neighbors who claimed the yard was a nuisance. Rogers' home is in a secluded gated community around a scenic 5-acre lake in rural St. Landry Parish - seems like subdivision restrictions might be appropriate. Picture included.
