What is the easiest and most accurate way to find out about fire restrictions in Colorado?|164821

I haven_t had any luck on the state park website.

Call the town fire dept that you are going to. Use the business line not the emergency #. They will know, if its an outside fire there are different class days for outside burning.

Why is it illegal for the people in new york to sell knock of purses?|122505

My daughter and i went to new york and bought knock of purses in their underground rooms, or back rooms! Why is it illegal and such a big secret? Plus why are some purses out in the open but others have to be SO SECRET?

Because they are stealing the profits from the original manufacturers.

Yes, bags at a Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Dolce _ Gabana (just to name a few) are expensive as heck! But you get a quality bag. And even though these knockoffs are remarkably close to the main manufacturers, you_re getting a cheaper quality counterfeit. Also add to the fact that if your bag ever broke, the main manufacturers would replace them....not in the case of a knockoff. If anything just TRY to bring in a knockoff into these stores and you may be arrested for owning counterfeit goods.

You took a BIG chance by going in a back room. Some of these places rob you...literally.

the only real reason is they pay no tax remember its all about the money...
some vendors pay a license to sell knock offs
some dont and those are consider illegal.. its a shame because the rich is trying to get richer
P.S
believed or not some of these guys are selling the real purse
it came out in the news some of these purses are real and no one know lol...

There are several reasons why it_s illegal -- typically, they are smuggled into the country without the sellers having paid import duties. The sellers are also less likely to report their income or pay taxes on it.

There_s also the issue of copyright violations that are being perpetuated by the manufacturers.

they are knockoffs, not the real thing. losing the maker of the REAL thing millions if not billions of dollars, plus to taxes have been paid on the imported good. Others are similar but not knock offs. but might have similar patterns without the REAL purse makers name on it.

For the same reason that it_s illegal to sell boot-legged movies and CDs....

Give the designer and artists some credit....

Because the profits do not go to Louis Vuitton, Chanel or Dolce _ Gabana..
And some of the profits actually fund terrorism.

Copyright/design infringement, no sales tax paid, no vendor license,...etc....It is essentially black market goods.

What are some good sights in Pittsburgh?|110005

Me and my buddy will be in Pittsburgh for 2 days after Christmas, is there any must sees? Any cool clubs to check out? Thanks for your help!

The road that gets you out of town.

Station Square and the Strip District have clubs. You should definitely ride one of the inclines and check out Mount Washington. The Carnegie Science Center is alright and the Carnegie Museum. The Nativity Scene outside the US Steel Building is pretty neat and there is ice skating nearby. There is some pretty good food in the _burgh, you might want to try Primanti_s they have several locations. Primanti_s sandwiches are famous for having cole slaw and french fries on them (but you can be a wimp like me and get the cole slaw on the side), still really good though.
