Did you ever find out about this?

Oh, I wasn’t putting any effort into finding out who might have put them there. The fake trees are gone now too, as are the real stumps, the planters, and the sidewalk.

It’s a shame they couldn’t at least have made an attempt at replanting.

2 weeks ago by gcpvd I don’t even do graffiti but my first impulse is to tag this wall.
2 months ago by gcpvd I haven't reported anything to #pvd311 in a while. But this mattress burrito/uncut dick moving up and down the street prompted me to.

3 months ago by gcpvd During the construction on the Financial District (aka East Downcity) part of Westminster, the street has been a de facto pedestrian street (the street was technically open to auto traffic when I took this picture). Maybe we're on to something? Maybe just a lunchtime shutdown?
4 months ago by gcpvd I understand the festival was postponed because of the rain, but having Atwells opened to traffic while it is set up for a festival is stupendously idiotic and dangerous.
