Fenton, population 226, brings in over $1 million per year through its mayor’s court, an unusual justice system in which the mayor can serve as judge even though he’s responsible for town finances.
Being an ignorant Aussie I had to google Bashford Antiques and holy shit what a wild and entertaining ride that was
As a Kiwi I still had to look it up
Me too, but I didn't get too far through reading about it before it all came flooding back.
There is actually a movie about it called Mr Organ. I recommend it.
Isn't it just?! I haven't seen the movie yet but I really want to.
This is basically the plot to Nothing but Trouble.
I also read the comment on the cross-posted thread lol.
