A reader writes from North 27th Street between Franklin and Grace Streets:
They came here this morning to trim the limbs from 2 trees interfering with power lines - and they CUT DOWN THE WHOLE F*CKING TREE! Two of them! Completely healthy, beautiful mature red oaks that were 75 years old, at least.

a story from 27th Street
A neighbor saw a man steal a lawn mower from another neighbor and called the police, but the story doesn’t end there. He followed the suspect all the while calling the police and even photographed the suspect with the lawn mower. Now, the cops didn’t get the suspect (but have asserted that they will), but the lawn mower was returned before the victim even knew that it was stolen.
