Riverwood's elected officials recently handed over all residential zoning appeals to a midday psychic hotline-only to watch flowerbeds vanish, garden gnomes enter witness protection, and neighborly fences slip into alternate dimensions.

In an unprecedented bid to modernize pedestrian safety, the local council rolled out telepathic crosswalks that request heartfelt secrets before granting the right of way.

Residents have mixed feelings-some demand more percussion, others file noise complaints in triplet time.
In a bid to make daily strolls more 'engaging,' the local government installed QR-coded riddles and combination-lock turnstiles at every zebra crossing.
