Tie a Yellow Ribbon…

I thought this makeshift ribbon that appeared on a tree near the corner of 71st Road and 110 St. was a particularly creative, even touching, use for the police tape around the tree since the tornado. Was someone honoring the memory of all the trees in town that were destroyed? Or is it to remind us of our soldiers fighting in Afghanistan? I guess it’s whatever we want it to be…

Speaking of trees and the tornado, during last night’s online chat here on Edge of the City, preservationist Michael Perlman shared a link where everyone can go to file a request with the city for a new tree on their block.
