One or two by the small A permit lot, and a whole grove practically in the courtyard between it and Engineering III (did they rename it yet?

Somebody clearly planted it, but it's just not the kind of neighborhood where you'd expect to find an exotic tree.<br /><br />I'll check out the one of B St. tomorrow.

There's an even bigger and better one on B street, between 6th and 7th street. It's on the east side of the road, and is rising up behind a one story house, in their back yard. It's at least four times as large.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876157448125007929noreply@blogger.com
