I had been meaning to spotlight the swell plantings dotting the downtown area but the ProJo beat me to it yesterday. The simple and sophisticated designs are by Gates, Leighton & Associates with the all-important maintenance being performed by the Downtown Improvement District. Big ups for getting the hanging baskets right; they are enormous which means that not only is the scale right for their surroundings, but the plants have a good root-run and can flourish. And the choice of plant material was kept simple, and repeated from basket to basket which is much more pleasing to the eye. As to the petunias that adorn the ‘lawyer crossing’, they are just mental.

I kinda wish they’d plant some fucking trees on that traffic island; real ones, not the skimpy little fruit tree that’s there now. It’s an otherwise very nice spot.
