League City's 1/2 million lb tree move

[talisman]

To make way for a Kmart!

Which subsequently closed. Such a waste. Like they couldn't have built the fucking parking lot around it.

We had to take a huge male huckleberry tree out of the backyard the other week. Cracked down the middle and part was resting on the gas meter. Guys who took it out said it was one of the biggest they have seen..... well over 60'.. Sucks big time because it was on the south side of the property and shaded the house....

They tried to do that with The Witness Tree in Arlington so they could build a shopping center back in the 90s and killed it.

Yea I remember that - now it's a little gated park area with the stump behind the shopping center

Yup, been to it before.

Why couldn't they just curve the road around it? That would have been simpler.
