Pedestrians on the corner of Hope and Arnold street in Fox Point have noted that a tree root is absolutely tearing into a section of sidewalk. “You’ve got to be careful when walking here or you might trip!” said pedestrian Debbie Peters as she walked over the completely demolished pavement which has been broken into a true fuckton of little cracked pieces by a brutal, take-no-names tree root. “I’ve lived here for fifty years and every day that tree burrows deeper into the sidewalk. You really have to admire its persistence.” One block away on Transit Street another tree is tragically trying to plant its seeds in asphalt in a futile but endless struggle.
