Around the time of my birth every city in the NorthEast decided it would be a great city beautifying project to plant oranmental trees around their cities. Think about it- pretty flowers it the spring, green leaves all summer and no fruit to clean up in the fall. It's a win right?

Except for people like me. I'm allergic to the little babies show below, the Bradford Ornamental Pear. Pretty white flowers with a shit load of pollen. So cheers to city beautification, I'm taking another claratin and washing it down with my morning coffee.

They sure do make a pretty picture
