At last Wednesday’s downtown farmers market, I saw a classic scene: At the foot of one of the very tall liquid amber trees, the sun shone on a little girl gleefully tossing autumn-gilded leaves in the air. When I remembered that this tree and others are to be axed because of a recent vote, my heart flooded with grief and sorrow for the Santa Cruz citizens willing to pave paradise and put up a parking garage.

Looking forward to cement jungle downtown. Santa Cruz leaders are high on tax revenues from building up!
Kathleen must not have looked down. She was standing on a paved parking lot which will be turned into the first floor of a library with a beautiful room for children. In a few years, she’ll be able to gaze through a large window on children enjoying books and programs while she stands under one of the dozens of new trees planted on site.
