they haven't killed stumpy yet!

remember this tree on rhode island avenue that was burned in the trolley fire last year near logan circle? i wondered if the tree would survive, or if the city would cut the tree down.

well, it looks like a compromise of sorts was reached today. the dead crown of the tree has been topped, but it looks like the city is going to let the rest try to grow out. check out the photos below:

That's one tough elm.

it's not an elm, though, anon. it's a willow oak.
