One of the things that concerns me is that the city is much better at planting trees than maintaining them. See the (now) two empty tree wells on Market Square, as well a numerous others around downtown. <br /><br />Also, if you look at vintage pictures of Gay Street you won't see trees. You can pick out the facades that are still with us. But those are going to be obscured with the new plantings. <br />~m.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-35906788492160407482010-07-13T12:02:06.172-04:002010-07-13T12:02:06.172-04:00MG, thanks for recognizing my mad photoshoppin'...MG, thanks for recognizing my mad photoshoppin' skillz.<br /><br />Gexx, I think that's an excellent idea if the City Arborist thinks the limb thing would be OK with dogwoods.

We have a Dogwood Festival, but none are downtown. I know there are plenty around the rest of Knoxville, but they're so awesome. And, as far as I know, they don't break like Bradfords do.Gexxhttp://www.twitter.com/gexxinknoxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-6369562541144845972010-07-12T12:24:14.867-04:002010-07-12T12:24:14.867-04:00Hear, hear.

There are a few planters with flowers in them, but a few more could go a long way.<br /><br />For about 30 seconds I could not tell your photo was 'shopped.
