Mellow Mushroom Live Oak Tree

[edjax]

WLA is getting to be out of control.

Getting to be?  I think they have been since their very beginning.

The tree is not sick and does not need to be replaced. Some top branches died during road construction two years ago, but the tree is dark green, healthy and growing. This is a Mellow Mushroom red herring...being promoted by its MetroJax puppets. And surprise, surprise...today there is a sign out front asking for a city hearing for 'new signage.'

I had supported Mellow Mushroom. Now that they are cutting down Avondale's trees with a snake move, I'm out. Carmine's has much better pizza anyway.

I personally saw John Valentino painting red X's on several oak trees in Boone Park.  I can only assume he was doing it to mislead the tree trimmers into cutting down more of Avondale's trees.  Disgusting.

Pretty sure this will inspire Mellow to give up on pizza and go back to the sex toy/head shop concept they were originally proposing.  Tree cutting + new signage variance = big pole sign for the "Bongs N Dongs" flagship.  Count on it.

It's on city property BTW.

Confirmed, we're all puppets. Took this picture at the last MJ meetup.



This is just WLA trying to stir up more crap. A tree can look healthy, but be rotten to the core (believe me, I know, we just had to bring down a live oak and a water oak that both looked to be perfectly fine, but had 1 foot diameter black rotten channels running up the middle of the trunks for about 6 to 10 feet.

If the tree needs to be replaced, then it needs to be replaced. If MM is willing to replace a tree on city property (something it sounds like it isn't obligated to do) we should be thanking them.

I just heard from WLA the tree is being replaced with this one;

Looks like a perfectly healthy tree to me. It seems like a stupid move to cut it down. I think everybody is fully aware that the mellow mushroom is going in there. I can't imagine that a tee blocking a sign will detour a customer from stopping in. If that tree gets cut down I certainly won't support MM. They've already pissed so many people off as it is, why take it any further?

How about you go to the meeting before you decide that "Now that they are Avondale's trees with a snake move".  Hasn't MM proven that they want to be a good neighbor already? So at least go see if the rumors have any truth to them first.  Obviously this is falling on deaf ears you wouldn't have phrased it as " cutting down Avondale's trees" if you weren't trying to pull a very amateur spin job.

Seriously if there is a published meeting to see what the neighborhood wants how can you pretend they aren't trying to be good neighbors?

Much more reasonable opposition position to the tree being cut down.  It looks healthy to me as well I would certainly want the city to solicit an expert opinion before even considering replacing it.
