You may remember last week's almost total take down of the giant ficus tree at the "corner" of El Moran & Alvarado, one of the few remaining shade trees on the developer's controversial subdivision in the Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract. Now the tree branch seems precariously balanced to eventually break & fall into the power lines leading up to the top of the exceptionally steep hill. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
