gone

they were setting up the crane this morning and this evening it's gone --- one of midtown's great old tulip poplars --- the house is fine, dating to the 1890s, and the tree was almost as old --- the place already had a driveway and front steps, but they weren't exactly where the new owners wanted them so they went and dug up all around the east and north side of the tree --- it hadn't looked good this season and i was pretty sure it wouldn't come back next year anyway --- hope they are satisfied now
