Jeremy: Sorry to hear that about St. Barbara’s area. I drove over there a couple of years ago, and I know the new developments were pretty widespread. My block (Bleecker) still had some of the old houses on it, though not in good shape.

Mary: We planted our tree a very long time ago. It’s possible it’s quicker now. At that time, you put yourself on the list, and when it was time for them to plant the trees in your neighborhood, they arrived.

Jeremy: Glad you see you are still around, and this great blog on an upcoming neighbor still exists. Jeremy: Thanks for taking care of the blog while you’re away. Where are you vacationing – at your summer home in SoBu?

Lenora – you had to pay for the tree and still wait a year for the city to plant it? I thought you could get one faster this way versus the free one they give you.

Lenora — unfortunately everything around St. Barbara’s is projects. It will be the last part of Bushwick to clean up.

Bobbush: South Bushwick is jokingly called “SoBu.” Nobody is making fun of South Bushwick.

Nah, just swamped lately. I’m actually going on vacation Wednesday, but I’ll try to post-date a few posts so there’s something every day.

I planted a tree in Park Slope in 1977. The first one died, then we planted a Norway Maple, and it’s still standing, though we no longer live there. It took the city about a year to plant the first one. The planted the replacement the following fall. We paid something for the first one.

Is anything happening over near St. Barbara’s in Bushwick. I grew up there in the ’50s and I’m curious to know if things are changing?

Thanks.

Jeremy:

Oh no! No new posting to this site today. I hope this blogsite doesn’t go down the drain. Please somebody help. Let’s give Bushwick a chance!

Sobu shouldn’t be something jokingly called on these pages. Why not make it a cool place to be in Bushwick. Kinda like what greenwich village is to nyc.

Jeremy thanks for the website. Did you see all those requirements for the soil, etc.

But it would be nice to have a tree lined street!
