Gone and Almost Forgotten
Yesterday a small crew of workmen came to the school playground and felled two of the big old maple trees at the edge of Pleasant Street. They dropped the trees down the hill into the playground. It took much of the morning and afternoon to lop off all the leafy branches, saw the trunks into manageable sections, haul them out of there and grind up the tree roots. All that's left to remind us of the trees is two squares cordoned off by yellow tape where the trees used to be. Already that place looks like there never were any trees there.
