Some fed-up citizens in Peabody, Mass., are working to ban basketball and hockey nets from the city's streets because they claim the goals are becoming too much of a nuisance.
The Salem News reported this week that some residents want the city to create an ordinance making it illegal to leave hoops and hockey nets in the streets. FOX 25 also outlined the story with a look at Tara Road, where things have become so bad that one unnamed resident has put "No trespassing" signs on her property.
