concrete jungle

I went for a walk in the Fan and came upon Mulberry Street. Mulberry has trees that are much larger than many other streets in the neighborhood. I almost felt sorry for this tree. The sidewalk is busted because the trees roots have nowhere to go. They are even growing above ground, as you can see from the picture. It was an interesting sight to see these trees. I wonder how annoyed they are with humans. Boxing in such beauty. The sad part is that in order to "save" the sidewalk, I'm sure someone will make the terrible decision to cut down the tree.

Preserve the tree. We are capable of walking around the sidewalk. I wonder if the tree could be replanted somewhere else? The problem is that this is its home...who wants to be "uprooted" from their natural home?
