THE FLEET FOX

They have done all sorts of landscaping there since I took this pictures.  They have put in all of this retaining walls and done a whole bunch of xeriscape landscaping.  Just to the right of the path between the curb and the stairs, at the base of the tree, they have these, big, white, round stones all around the trees now.  They are quite beautiful.  They looked heavy, so, from where I stood on the path, bent over, and picked one of the almost football sized rocks at the base of the tree up that was just on the other side of this green plastic lid covering some pipes or something under ground.  

Anyhow.  It is an odd thing to note, for sure, but when you have been to someplace so many times, every little change is magnified, kind of like how there used to be big tree on the north side of the little park.  It got cut down in the mid nineties.  Funny thing is though, the tree's "footprint can still be seen, because the grass grows poorly there still.
