Sadly, the big tree at 16th and Dolores was chopped down recently, making the corner bright and sunny (queue vampire hiss sound effect.) But now the stump bears a message reminding us of the circle of life. Yes, one day the stump will rot, and eventually a new tree will grow. Or the stump will be removed by a tree service and Friends of the Urban Forest will be commissioned to plant a new tree. One of those.
Cheers, tree stump!
