Italian Restaurant Finds 6 Gnomes on Roof

Six garden gnomes arrived atop Poppi's Italian Family Kitchen about the time of the summer solstice _ facing the sunrise _ and the restaurant's owner says it's OK for them to stay.

"We've noticed there's fewer pigeons. We think they're afraid of the gnomes," owner Dan Perryman said Thursday.

Perryman suspects area teenagers placed the gnomes atop the restaurant; no employees have admitted taking part in the prank.
