This just might be the World Champion entry for "Not my job..."

If you want to know why that tree is there....go to this link.

You'll find the same picture of the tree there. On the left side of the picture, it says "Listen 3m 28s" Click on it and you'll hear an audio about the tree.


Here it is in Google maps.

Thanks for sharing. Don't get me wrong, the "not my job" reference wasn't that they left the tree standing; I'm all for not chopping down trees that we don't need to. Rather, it was for whatever idiot decided to lay a road down there in the first place. Surely, since the tree pre-dated development, and it was in the will that it had to remain standing, whoever was in charge of laying out the streets could have stopped for a second and gone "Hmmm, maybe we should move this street over a couple of metres..."

Yup....they could have done a better job with the street. I guess they know what they are doing.

You're being more generous to them than I. This is more my reaction:

At least you tried.webp

Don't you love it when a restaurant has multiple options for vegans?
