Well.. historically the trees didn’t overhang the street that much (they were smaller) and historically they get trimmed this week.

Again I always kind of assumed they got trimmed for desert Storm, but now I’m thinking it may have just been a coincidence that in years past they did that.. I dunno.

What I can tell ya is we are laying out our booth for desert Storm and as I’m driving down the street I look and say to myself.. These trees are gonna be a problem. 😳
Honestly I never noticed the tree trimming schedule, probably cause I avoid downtown as much as possible but kind of hard for you since you live close by. I’ll just stay living under my rock here on the northside. 😊

Those trees are giving me anxiety already. I just got my allergy shot after not being able to breathe during the boat show. I’m still not okay. I guess it’s time for round 2!

A few years ago I saw someone crawl up their tilted boat with a shop vac and suck the yellow petals off the tree branches hanging over their rig lol. Was pretty funny at the time but I get it.

Trees are a totally valid concern. I hope Ms StormPokerRuns has corresponded with the city on this. Sorry to hear about the potential non Street Party involvement of some of the big boats. As of now, weather looks pretty decent.

To give the city credit, they were trimming the shit outta them last weekend. But gawd dam, those yellow palo verde flowers are gonna make a mess. It seems early this year.
Bingo..

Tilt boats are as tall as motorhomes. They aren’t gonna fit under the trees which is gonna cause some very irritated boat owners whom are stuck in their assigned spots.

Almost need to put the tilt boats in between the trees etc which adds a whole different dimension

Someone with a Stihl jersey should just cut them down.
