It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.
Ok. Thank you. Carry on.
i definitely think minecraft won't be the game for everyone in the end and that's just how things are no problem but i do think *some* people who don't get the hype of it just need to play with their friends and build a house with them. its also for doing things like this.
Via @WritersGuildF at Twitter. (Not that this’ll help NBCUniversal, particularly when the LA City Department of Urban Forestry comes after them…)
This move, it seems likely, is damage control aimed at attempting to mitigate the situation before LA-based TV news crews show up.
(BTW: images in other threads here and on Twitter apparently confirm that Universal also did this illegal trimming three years ago, and the trees were in the process of trying to recover from it.)
ETA: this from @DanSigner at Twitter, showing images of the trees in previous years.
…For those interested in looking at the images more closely: this is the north end of Barham Blvd., the Toluca Lake-ish end, outside Universal’s Sheinberg building (Google Maps link here). If you use Street View to move up and down the road here, the tree images will change—check the right-hand bottom of the images to see the dates the photos were taken.
For those curious about why my dander’s up about this: leaving aside the casual spite of lopping trees at the wrong time of year so as to make picketers suffer (and let’s not forget the sudden construction / ripping-up of sidewalks elsewhere on the lot): the Universal / Universal City area was very much part of my personal “stomping grounds” when I was living and working in LA. Hanna-Barbera was just off the other end of Barham, north on Cahuenga, and I was up and down this road all the time, since friends and co-workers lived nearby. And trees there have enough trouble prospering without this bullshit.
