Remarks: It’s that time of year again: discarded couch time! If you’re on the market for a very free, slightly damp living room accent, now is the time to get hunting. This offending chesterfield was found on Maitland Street, where it sat for a couple of weeks doing nothing in particular. The city will dispose of a couch if it’s on city property, like this one (“It becomes a liability issue,” HRM dispatch tells us), but private property is considered a private problem. Remember, though: one man’s private problem is another man’s pull-out bed!
