Worshipping trees

392

Editor,

This past spring I ventured into the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce to voice an idea.

Going down into town toward the Auditorium, the schedule of events on the side of the building is blocked by two trees in front of the parking lot. This results in one of three things: folks stop to read it, slow down to read it or miss reading it.

The trees remained so I called the city to vent. No results. There is an old adage, no decision is a decision.

So all summer and fall the curious flatlanders impeded traffic or missed reading the sign. I know there are nuts that worship every leaf on every tree, but could a few leaders that have not left their brains at college vote to whack a couple of trees?
