The tree near Temperance Fountain was apparently damaged during Monday night's storm ... one passerby said that it appeared to be hollowed out. Crews arrived this morning to take down the tree.

    The park has lost a lot of trees the past few years, hope they replant.

    It may be easier to act quickly than to have some part of a damaged/dead tree fall and hit someone resulting in the City getting sued for $10 million then settling for $2 million.

    fab·u·loud : ordinary people being extraordinarily loud.

    Ex: "I couldn't hear a goddamn thing in that restaurant because of the OMG Girls' fabuloud shrieking.
