I'm at the age now where almost everything everyone experiences triggers in me a memory of a similar or apparently relevant experience or set of circumstances which I have an urge to report, as a way of being interested. But I feel lately that this is generally unwanted and seen as a way of hijacking the conversation.
Anyway, that said, here's my related experience:
Some years ago, the city of Nashville had a nice long avenue of Yoshino cherry trees along the waterfront. It's a popular tree here; J's dad had a hand in introducing them. But then the city cut down a bunch of the trees to make way for the temporary constructions for the NFL draft. I think the first year it was held here.
I - and many others who weren't even all that excited about the NFL draft - were pretty upset the city had agreed to that; the trees were one of the most beautiful amenities on the waterfront downtown, when they bloomed. The city said they would replant them. I wonder if they ever did? I don't know.
