It hasn't taken the Morse Avenue destruct-o's long to start tearing and ripping apart the freshly planted trees in the 1400 block of West Morse Avenue.
Four of the five trees have sustained some sort of limb damage like the above photograph. I've used a channel of communication to DevCorp North, hoping they would get on this issue and trim the broken limbs in a timely manner. But so far, they've done absolutely nothing.
So today our branch of the Rogers Park Gardeners Group, (pun intended) will make sure these tree's are trimmed properly as to not cause further damage.

We need more people living on Morse,

and this wont be an issue
gee, you don't suppose jomo had this kind of thing in mind when he put off planting those trees, do ya?
trees in that kind of location are usually planted in the fall, when at least some of the roudies are heading off to school.
but, no craig knows better.
been there, I'm sure you're right. The all knowing jomo had that in mind. No. Joe doesn't think about Morse.
CLOSE DOWN THE LIQUOR STORE AND THE TOP HAT AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE.
Top Hat is slated to close. Soo won't close. I would love is Soo closed and we got a real liquor store instead.
Heh, what have the trees ever done to the destructoes?

I'm with jeffo- Morse needs to be turned into a genuine mixed-use street.
The one-story stuff is all garbage. There are a couple of attractive, re-usable two-story places. The 4 + 1s are past their time, even though I see one of the more attractive ones is being redeveloped.
Ground-floor commercial with parking behind, above, or underneth buildings. No parking fronting the street and a minum of curb-cuts. 4-8 stories of condos or apts overhead. Wider sidewalks to encourage beneficial foot-traffic.
Upzone the space the Rider bldg is on, and for mixed use, so that place can get knocked down and redevoped. There is no incentive to do anything with it now but keep it as is.
I've noticed that on Morse, too. Unfortunately, Morse is not the only street in the area where that happens.
