Iconic Leucadia Torrey Pine getting removed!

From the inbox:

As I write this, the beautiful Torrey Pine at 925 Orpheus is being
trimmed in preparation for being cut down.

Please encourage people to call the City, ANYONE, at the City and
complain.

The project update in the October Hoodlink had some information about what has been happening the past few weeks with the tree and the Fire Department.

City Main Desk: 633-2600

Not a city tree. Not on public property. Shalom.

Correct, not a city tree, not a protected tree in the city of Encinitas, not on public property - just a beautiful, huge, healthy old Torrey Pine. It's misfortune was to be on land currently owned by La Jolla Developers who feel their land will bring a higher sale price without the tree. Shalom

We don't live in Leucadia we live in a parking lot.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
