at some point in the old days of cobble stone and brick the city planted all of these horse chestnut tree, very broad leafed, very lush, in the autumn these flowers produce vast amounts of spiky nuts for us to throw at each other
these said trees create some spooky late summer evening strolls and one of the reasons i always tell new comers to town, to take warning, this is a very real very serious city at night and bad things happen to drunk kids walking home alone
the same trees also cause infrastructure misery and overtime, with flooding, from mountains of un-raked, washed away leaves stuffed into storm drains, but even with all of these faults, still one of my favorite trees-
