No one goes to squares, restaurants, retail because of mature trees. They want shade of the new sail’s being installed. New and shiny has drawn residents in TV since 2004.
However if you spent 2 minutes in near Magnolia shopping, Middleton and Eastport, they lost more giant Live Oaks from Milton than any other area of TV.
It took 5 days to remove all the trees from roads, and paths, and 16 days to finally clear the last of Giant live oaks.
