Gingko (p 83)

GONE! NE 6th and Holladay. Construction of a new office building must have led them to chop this one down. Too bad, because the book says, "It was planted in the 1890s. We hope it has a long life." The building in the background is interesting to me, because that is where my dad got me my first non-lawnmowing job in about 1970. I "punched the tubes" on a huge old-school boiler, meaning I ran a long rod with brushes into about 100 long tubes to clean out soot.
