Our inability to properly protect our downtown trees is a concern. Clearly this method isn’t working as we’ve already lost one!

Even North Hills looks far away, so I figured it was pretty far up there. Thanks.
I was thinking of the Wake Forest area…but an excellent picture! Thank you!

Now Green Hills County Park - highly recommended as a good walk or a pleasant picnic spot when it’s nice out.

Is the public allowed access to the hills and grass area now? It’s been a while since I dropped off any motor oil out there, but I remember seeing methane exhaust pipping at one point. I need to go back.

On the brightside, there’s plenty of parking at 300 
I’ll follow that bright side, with a reference of an Austin Gensler project we can dream about - in the future, we could just just top some of our 20 story towers with another tower and bingo, supertower…
