Requiem for Gross Street


The removal of 75 trees on Gross Street was needed to make way for the long-awaited Gross Street Improvement project. Sadly, many neighbors did not learn they would lose the trees until the day before cutting began.This video is my way of giving the trees one last honorable farewell, and it is my promise to my neighbors that if elected to serve as your councilman I will be mindful of the lessons learned on Gross Street about city government communicating with citizens to address our neighborhood concerns.The music accompanying the video is by Glasgow fingerstyle guitar player, Bill Adair, who recorded the tune live at Java Rave on Tuesday September 4.
