RE: mauled mall

Visionaries;

Really, do you know what lunatics you sound like!  Boycott the mall because
they did some weeding.  Sheesh!  If you really want to be activists,
volunteer to clean up that stretch of highway, and then you can take care of
it.

The undergrowth they took out was weedy, overgrown and a trash collector.
They did not remove any of the trees.  They cleaned up under the trees and
in fact now the trees will probably grow better. They also put down
bark/wood to keep the soil in place. I drove by there today, in fact I went
and sat at the bench on the Chipman Trail, and looked across and thought the
cleaned up landscape looked rather neat and tidy. Much better than it used
to.

Maybe, since Wasinkari did such a good job on the West Entrance, and the
Mayor on the North, they could team up and now work on the South Entrance
and clean that up too.

As far as the Tree ordinance goes, someone is going to challenge it in court
and it'll go they way of covered nipples.  Give me a break.  There are real
problems in Moscow, and you're whining about a few sticks and twigs.

Get a life, all of you.
