Rumors Behind the News – Noe Valley Voice
Just what everyone loves to read! Rumors and speculation! The Noe Valley Voice’s October issue has a long list of items that locals might find interesting…
Among other items, “A project is under way to rescue a century-old Norfolk Island pine standing in the back yard of a house on Sanchez Street near 24th. According to the leader of the tree-protectors, Tracey Hughes, this gem is “almost 100 feet high, has a canopy of at least 60 to 70 feet, and a trunk that is 33 inches in diameter.”
“Evidently, a developer bought the 19th-century house with plans to demolish it and build a number of units in the front. Though the owner was going to keep the back yard, says Hughes, his schematics appeared to squeeze out the tree.”
