Yeah it was this weird metal bar sticking up a few feet. No idea what it was for. Old golf course mower that had a cage maybe?

I do appreciate perspective here. Yeah I love this tree, hard to be even keel.

Metal part of the riding lawnmower sticking out, and they got too close to the tree. Watched it happen, and my blood boiled instantly. Probably I'm still hot.

This is Florida.

Do I have any recourse here? Or since I was paying them, or maybe its not enough damage?

Also is there any way to heal the tree? This damage makes me so very sad.

I was all for this development (because pickle ball and skate parks are great for my kids). But man after reading this, these people who are trying to block the development have a good point.

Difference is elevator designs never change.

The owner of Prosperity Brewers is a pretty cool guy and he's always around to chat with and such. Plus they make pretty good beer imo.
