My side of the West Elsdon neighborhood got a little greener on June 27th. Trees were planted along 58th and Springfield and 57th Place and Hamlin. A big truck carrying a load of trees was making the rounds. The tree on the corner of my block is a New Harmony Elm. The little dog “Nanny” on the corner I am sure will be happy with the new addition, along with most of the male dogs in the neighborhood, including our Ollie.
