SSP pool Con brace of Live Oaks

Southside Place, Texas

I have watched this lovely group of proud Live Oaks grow to healthy juveniles since their planting many years ago
Live Oaks are the wondrous trees very commonly found on the Gulf Coast & specifically used by the Continental Congress when they built the first USS Constitution, a ship with such resilience to British cannon balls that they dubbed it "Old Ironsides"
She sits proudly on duty (the oldest commissioned warship afloat) protecting Boston Harbor today
Southside Place's Pool Committee will destroy these trees to allow for an improved pool with additional lanes needed for competitions
despite being given an alternative plan, they are going forth with this
sad to report, with some politic trumps sense
