Tompkins Square Park chainsaw massacre

As these photos by Bobby Williams show, workers spent a good part of yesterday cleaning up the Irene-damaged trees in Tompkins Square Park...






Melanie notes at East Village Corner that five trees were lost during the storm.


Bob Arihood has some cleanup photos here.

We hope to have an update on the downed trees at La Plaza Cultural later today or tomorrow.

  1. What happens to that wood. That's
    American Elm. Actually pretty rare. That's got to be expensive wood to a woodworker.
