Closing Bell: Christmas Tree Decorations in the Slope
The photo above comes from a reader who asks, "I'm wondering if you know what's up with the Christmas trees placed on top of cars in Park Slope? Is this the work of prankster kids? The sanitation dept.? Some sort of performance art?" That, or folks could have just been gearing up for MulchFest.

This has happened pretty much every year in each neighborhood I've lived in in Brooklyn. Common prank. Pretty lame if it's a nice car.

as far as I know, it's to make it easer for pick up for Mulchfest 2008...which was very successful...anyone who missed it can probably still make it to Greenwood Cemetery till 2pm Jan 12th...

We don't like boxy old cars in Park Slope.

That Laurie Anderson gets more enigmatic all the time.

My understanding is Green-Wood will accept additional trees beyond Saturday, as they mulch year round. But you should call...
But damn if that old clunker don't look good with a tree toupe!

I forgot to add "biz in the front, party in the back...trashy all over."

It's biofuel, sillies. Ethanol is *so* 2007.

Park Slope - I'd expect Christmas trees on top of Maclaren strollers as well...
