Trees in the park

Crabapple Tree

SHERYL AND I arrived at Fifth and Maine this morning in time to catch the "Kids For Cops" tree planting ceremony in Washington Park. Children planted a tree by the Lincoln-Douglas sculpture as part of National Police Week.

It was nice to see the park with people in it for all the right reasons. Angus wanted to run up to the tree and officially make it feel welcome. We will wait until the park clears out.

We love Washington Park. It adds so much class and ambiance to our downtown. The Quincy Park District does a good job of maintaining it and I think more people should take advantage of the square.

It's good to be downtown!
