Save the trees of stadium woods!

Dear Dan,

I am a passionate defender of the stadium woods, and I wonder if the possible destruction of this precious resource has something to do with Beamer’s involvement in the luxury condos to be built just above the woods, where cheap buildings are now being destroyed to make room for it.

Beamer has bought one and has agreed to do publicity for it. Those trees would make it harder to see the new Beamer Practice Facility.  Coach Beamer has invested in a number of failed restaurants, and real estate deals in the past, I believe.

I am grateful to the RT for the coverage they are giving to the stadium woods.  I hope they will cover tomorrow’s rally at the Washington Street Tennis Courts (4:00 p.m.) to name one of the trees for Stephen Colbert.

    Here is hoping that the tress get saved and that money will not once again win. It’s been done before (we did it in Harriosnburg)so it can be done.

    Loved today’s letter to the editor about a Swiftian ” modest proposal” for Stadium Woods. The writer proposed cutting down the trees to preserve them (as building material). Fine satire indeed. Mr. Swift would approve.

    Maybe we could kill a tree for every post that Suzie makes.

    They are trees, not children. It ain’t like we are down to our last three of them.

    Whatever floats your boat, Henry. Be careful where you kill those trees though. Suzie may send you to the hoosegow.

    That’s too tame for them, Henry. Notice every single one of these libs wants more KIDS to be killed, judging by their choices. What a pitiful pathetic commentary.

    Folks, Dr. Mengele is waiting for you in the afterlife.

    #3 You are so ignorant, Henry.

    #6 You are so spanked, gdad

    #7 Sorry, Henry, no spanking by dudes for me. That’s pretty kinky for a Freeper, though.
