Hi! I'm a different front porch guitar playing guy in Mpls, near Lake Harriet. It's been getting too sunny out there lately though, because we're losing all of our boulevard ash trees.
- beat 9y agoWe lost seven curb lindens (including ours) on my end of the block a few years back, the summer solstice windstorm that left much of south Minneapolis without power for days. My block took it particularly hard, trees down all over the street, smashed cars. So yeah, not enough shade for us either. I'm waiting for the emerald ash borers to finally get to the beautiful, mature ash in my backyard. :( I love living in a forest, but hate the tree maladies. Luckily, they replanted all our curb trees with diversity, rather than the monocultures of older Minneapolis streets.
