Whitey was from Southie. He just took over from Howie Winter. As to the mayor who took out a lot of trees, I heard he was worried about hurricanes. And the City Arborist who put in diseased trees was given a very small budget and had no experience. You get a Tree City Award for planting X number of trees, so he planted as many as he could, even if they were inappropriate.

I can hear Murphy (of Murphy's Law infamy) laughing and rubbing his hands together. Because you don't want the tree, it will thrive. 😈

Loved this one! Made me laugh out loud. Only you would speak to and frighten those poor fellows like that. Keep us posted on the tree’s fate.

Fellow Somervillain here. I love the plan for new city trees. Somerville needs 'em.

It does. Agreed. But not in front of my yard!
