Local Importance
I'm so glad that the vicious Fayetteville/TGIF sign dispute appears to be settled so we can focus on more important things.
Residents of the Boardwalk subdivision off Crossover Road woke up this morning to the sights and sounds of chain saws and wood chippers. It was a rude awakening. "My husband had gone for a run and came back at 7:30 and said they`re chopping the trees down," said Kim Petrone. "You had oaks, maples, and pears just lining Crossover giving us a barrier for noise pollution, just the aesthetics of the neighborhood it was gorgeous, now its gone," added K.C. Pummill.
Oh no! SWEPCO's clearing the power lines again!
You bastards!

Effin' twits. If they get left and the power goes out, they'll complain about that.
People who plant trees under power lines get what they deserve. As for trimming, I've seen what NSP does. The trees end up butchered. Better to cut them down and plant shrubs instead.

Exactly. After the last 2 storm systems that came through here, guess whose power went out? Everyone in that area.
Our power & DSL doesn't go off nearly so much since SWEPCO cut all the trees down in our area. Sure the street noise was worse at first, but only until we got shrubs going there. Now it's actually quieter than with the trees.
There's apparently something about power company easements that these people around here don't understand....mainly that it belongs to the power company, not the property owner.
