Lafayette however seems to destined to paved over parking-lot culture anyway. So it goes...huh northsidian? - dubayoushell Wed, 01 Dec 2010 04:59:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7342-pooyie-112410#comment-12740 To tell the truth, the Live Oaks will be fell, milled and planed to be use for the interior of a very influential prominent business family's palatial mansion. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:09:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7342-pooyie-112410#comment-12739 Gee , I thought T-Joe was cast in a different mold than our previous UL President who tried to give away the Horse Farm in the most enfamous under the table deal of the history of the UL University, the truth surfaces A LA shades of Lastrap. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:05:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7342-pooyie-112410#comment-12722 Wow, I haven't lived there since 1986 and the stories about live oaks seem to never change. I thought we made a difference when we saved the live oak on Congress by the Cajundome. Evidently not. One of the most respected live oak arborists in the world is nearby. Bob Thibodeaux of Bob's Tree Service in Church Point should be consulted. He's a saint. Check out http://acornsofhope.org to learn about the amazing work he does. I live in NOLA now and blog about how we abuse the landscape here at http://dyingoaks.posterous.com and at http://nolamotion.com We all have a long way to go. And as Bob T would say "it's about the soil!" The living soil is what we must understand if we are to have a healthy landscape and resilient communities. Happy Thanksgiving! - nolamotion Wed, 24 Nov 2010 11:36:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7342-pooyie-112410#comment-12711 UL's claim that two of the trees are diseased are simply untrue. Experts, some affiliated with the university say that there is nothing wrong with the trees that would prompt removal under normal circumstances. The university is doing what institutions usually do when they have something to hide...try to hide it! - c. coussan Wed, 24 Nov 2010 09:02:34 +0100
