UPDATE: This post has been updated since it was first published. More detail on Lolita and Glenn Gray, owners of the tree, has been added.
I walk and drive by the tree at Franklin and Hamlin every day and I always enjoy the changing decorations that mark the seasons and holidays. If you're having a bad day, the tree is sure to make you feel better.
Right now, it's decorated for Valentine's Day. In the photos, you'll see it decked out with pumpkins and ghosts for Halloween. Not only is it fun to look at, but it helps me remember what holidays are on the horizon.
And now, someone has given the tree its own fan page on Facebook: The tree on the corner of Franklin & Hamlin. At the moment, there are only four fans and the page is less than 45 minutes old. If you're on Facebook, give it a look and leave a comment or a photo.
You heard it here first!
An article in the February/March 2007 edition of the Eastlake News (it's on page 5) has more detail on Lolita and Glenn Gray, owners and decorators of the tree.
