If a tree gets chopped down in a city…

This from KCBS news in the Bay Area, regarding the more than 60 trees that were inexplicably removed from a busy shopping district.
“It was a very stupid, and thoughtless thing that they did,” said one woman quoted in the story. “Stupid to take them down, and to take them down all at once, and not to have more input.”
Apparently business owners are also upset with the city’s beautification process.
In local tree news, the above stump comes from the Doug Fir restaurant and bar on SE Burnside and 9th.
