He didn’t say but it may have been root rot because there are several much younger honey locusts (they seem to stout from the root system- which are fine but have much shallower root systems. And he thinks one of the trees has a cracked root system as well from the weight of all the snow last year. That tree had been leaning for years, now it’s almost a 45 angle to the ground. He said the dead tree next door is the only thing holding it up. So it’s going to cut cut down as soon as the tree guy can come.

An Alarmed Architect’s Complaint: Preservation Distorts the Past
By NICOLAI OUROUSSOFF
Has preservation become a dangerous epidemic? Is it destroying our cities?
That’s the conclusion you may come to after seeing “Cronocaos†at the New Museum. Organized by Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu, a partner in Mr. Koolhaas’s Office for Metropolitan Architecture, the show draws on ideas that have been floating around architectural circles for several years now — particularly the view among many academics that preservation movements around the world, working hand in hand with governments and developers, have become a force for gentrification and social displacement, driving out the poor to make room for wealthy homeowners and tourists.
dibs- the tree guy MM called says he thinks the honey locusts actually drowned, with all the snow and rain.The ivy didn’t kill them. the Japanese silk tree actually seems to be coming back. More leaves this weekend.
Erection workers and Pole worker’s make much more per diem.
I just don’t know if they get credit for “civic duty” though.
I’d have to check with the Board of Standards and Measures on that.

Thanks! I’m going to go see the show.
“drowned?” WOW, never heard of that happening. Is it some sort of actual drowning mechanism or just root rot because of all the water
Benson, a museum show for you:

Dibs and CGar,
Erection workers and Pole worker’s make much more per diem.
I just don’t know if they get credit for “civic duty” though.

Don’t know when yet but I suspect it will be early
During strawberry season, Montrose.
