I was scouting in the Richmond Hill neighborhood of Queens today when I saw this tree that appears to be devouring its “SLOW – CHILDREN AT PLAY” sign.

Yesterday, the Empire State building was lit up green for Earth Day. Tonight (Thursday, April 23), it will also be green, but for an entirely different reason, ironically celebrating an event that could have never occurred on a clean planet… It’s the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Anyone born pre-1980 will probably…

I suddenly had a presage of how human civilization will end…
At least to my eye that sign is Porcelain so I would guess that its been attached to that tree for the better part of 70 to 80 years.

There’s a hungry tree near the Graham Avenue L stop in Williamsburg, too. Can’t remember for the life of me if it’s on Ainslie or Devoe, but I’ve passed it a few times now.
