Comments on: Grill Hobstein, Dude! http://www.juliewaltonshaver.com/blog/2008/04/17/grill-hobstein-dude/ Photographs, quotes, thoughts and trees by Julie Walton Shaver, a lifestyle photographer based in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:43:53 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jeff from Linden http://www.juliewaltonshaver.com/blog/2008/04/17/grill-hobstein-dude/comment-page-1/#comment-17826 Jeff from Linden Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:24:05 +0000 http://www.juliewaltonshaver.com/blog/2008/04/17/grill-hobstein-dude/#comment-17826 I drove through year last year at this time, and remember a real grill on the right, whose aroma dominated the area. My serviceberry is looking terrific today in full bloom. It's a gentler white than other prominent flowering trees, however, and wouldn't give the same "power white" look of a pear, or some of the ones you see in the parks and all. Power white (not to be confused with the reverse expression) probably has its' place.

I am glad that this unfortunate event hasn't befallen your downtown greenery. (or has it???) Back in the day, we used to have a row of them in front of Channel 7 and one particularly windy day, "half" of one of these fairly unsubstantial trees attacked the hood of a car that was parked there. I don't know if Allstate paid or not! But a BP tree is so pretty when a strong wind catches it and splits it right down the middle.
