Update On LOVE
From OHNA President Jennifer Hancock:
There was a question at last night’s OHNA meeting about what happened to the LOVE sculpture. It was up one week and then disappeared.
The sculpture’s “O” was damaged during a storm around July 3rd or 4th. It is currently in a neighbor’s garage awaiting repairs. Once the repairs are complete, it will resume its stay at the Overlook.
Neighborhood resident and artist Chris Milk and friend install sculpture. Photos courtesy of resident Lynn Ivey.
Tree Squared
This photo, of a street tree on Spring Street, was not taken today, but recently. Reminder: With today’s heat, might be a good time to give our street trees some love and water them.
