Re: Pacific Rows (94th & Pacific)

Back to the earlier discussion about the trees, there is still a line of trees along the back property line between this development and the sub station. Looks like they are on the sub station side of the property line.

I saw three of them this evening, all on the Iowa side of the Missouri River. The Biggest was east of the zoo, next was east of Eppley, and the third and smallest was just north of the Bob Kerry Bridge. The one North of the Bob Kerry bridge might be the same fire that was going on a few days ago too.
