Closing Bell: Another One Bites the Dust
Mother nature collided with machine this morning when this mature London Plane tree toppled over onto a sanitation truck on Seventh Avenue between Carroll and President Streets. It’s unclear if the tree fell from the weight of snow or whether the plow on the truck may have clipped the tree guard.

I’m glad we didn’t go a whole day without instructions on how best to conduct a balls inspection. If you look at the balls you can tell the difference!!
well you couldnt pay me enough to handle the trash of nyc, so i think they do deserve more than most civil servants. plus you will always smell like garbage when youre a trashman. ick! it’s a noble profession that should be highly compensated. (tho i think teachers, etc should as well), but it doesnt take much to become a teacher. anyone can become one. it’s quite difficult to decide one day you want to deal with trash all day.

The Underhill Avenue neighborhood folk are still mourning the loss of a large tree that was felled by a snowplow a couple years ago.
Don’t eat the apple he offers, pigeon. It’s the oldest trick in the (good) book.
Am I the only one who sees the snake descending the tree, near the passanger side of the vehicle, coming to eat me?
“The native American Sycamore can be differentiated from the hybrid London Planetree by looking at the fruit or seedballs which turn brown in the fall and are more visible when the leaves down. The American Sycamore has l seed ball hanging on a long stalk. The London Planetree usually has 2 seedballs hanging on one stalk. The London Planetree, a cross between the Sycamore of the Eastern United States and the Oriental Planetree of southeastern Europe and Asia Minor, is remarkably resistant to air pollution.”
Also, planetrees leave more of a mottled pattern when they crush your car.
Rob, “poor” is not the label I would slap onto these dudes who are the highest paid among the city workers – more than teachers, police, firemen,…..
