University of Colorado students Jake Traut, left, and Brian Thompson play beer pong in University Hill in May 2016.

They idle on lawns, caked in layers of spilled Rolling Rock, limbs partially concealed by unmown grass.

If you live in a certain part of town, chances are you pass by them often. And if you’re at a certain point in life, their mere visage may evoke a keen sense of longing for a simpler time, when love was new, exams were over and Beta was hosting a tailgate at noon.

They may be filthy, but, like raccoons, they are your neighbors whether you like it or not.

They are the front-yard beer pong tables of University Hill. And it might just be time for them to go inside.

At least, that’s the thought being pitched by Hill resident and City Councilman Andrew Shoemaker.

“You drive through the Hill in the spring or the fall, you see them. You see them laying out all winter,” the councilman said in an interview Thursday. “What I’m talking about is getting these things out of the yard.”

It might look a lot like the existing city ordinance that has since 2002 informed couch governance on the Hill. Get caught with a couch or another piece of upholstered furniture outside your home, as 65 Boulderites were in 2015, and you’re staring down a $100 first-time fine.
